We’ve mentioned before how we’re huge fans of the app “3D brain” on the iPhone. The 3D app is derived from the Genes to Cognition Online website, funded by the Dana Foundation and Hewlett Foundation. Using the iPad’s native gestures, the app allows you to zoom and rotate images of the brain in a three dimensional fashion.
We had a lot of fun using the app on the iPhone, but with the increased real estate on the iPad, it’s gotten better. Click through to see more screen shots of the app in action – have fun manipulating the brain with this app!






















As a neurologist, I’ve found this App is great for explaining neurologic deficits and brain function to patients.
Plus it is a great review for health care professionals.
thanks for the great tip – it is always amazing to see how little patients know about their own bodies
have you come across any other apps that you have found helpful in communicating with patients ?
Three that we recommend to patients include:
1. iManage Migraine, a nicely done free App by Merck
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app…
2. i Inject to track injection for patients with MS
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app…
3. Heartwise Blood Pressure Tracker
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app…
Thanks – very helpful. Maybe we will check out these apps on the site. It is a good thing that patients now have access to high quality anatomical drawings. We are going to be reviewing Blausen’s human atlas shortly which promises to add to this genre.
i agree. always nice to see physicians using this in practice…
I hope something similar will come out in Android.
