"This is a significant development in patient and consumer education," said Bruce Blausen, founder and CEO of Houston-based Blausen, in describing the Human Atlas iPhone app. "In the hands of a doctor, nurse or family member, the iPhone app provides an invaluable visual learning experience right at the point of care. The information is delivered in a readily understandable way and will be available in 10 different languages."

Blausen's Chief Medical Officer, Hunt Neurohr, M.D. said, "Today's medical professionals are very comfortable with technological advances that can help them better educate their patients. This imagery can be shared with their support network of family and friends. Everyday patients are interested in learning more about a procedure or condition whether through the internet or other media, thus it is my belief that these powerfully communicative animations, made conveniently accessible through the iPhone, will be readily accepted."

Fifteen medical topics: Fifteen medical topics: Cancer, Circulatory, Digestive, Ear, Endocrine, Eye, Immunology, Muscular, Nervous, Pediatric, Reproductive, Respiratory, Skeletal, Skin and Urinary

The Blausen Human Atlas on the iPhone will be a natural complement to existing media, but beside that, it is really cool."
