If you are into medicine or surgery there is not a whole lot out there as in app terms to get close to all things surgical which also includes tutorials,we have featured some apps before in this field but this app stands alone for features and more and its called Touch Surgery , I have always had an interest in medicine and surgery and read up on it quite often and like to see new things arrive on mobile,this app is excellent and even if surgery is not your thing you should take a look..The app is available on Android and iOS too so you have no excuse.. Touch Surgery is an interactive mobile surgical simulator that guides you step-by-step through every part of an operation, and every decision that’s made along the way. It’s the OR in your pocket.
The app was created by Jean Nehme and Andre Chow, two surgeons who were looking for a solution to supplement their training at the time that working hours caps were put on surgeons in the UK. The reason they emphasise aesthetics in their content is in order to provide the most medically accurate simulations and most effectively disseminate best practices. They employ animators and visual artists who have worked on projects such as The Dark Knight, Gravity, Skyfall, Harry Potter, Avatar, Finding Nemo, and many other films.
If you have a week stomach perhaps its not for you…really its not that bad….
The app contains multiple procedures so you can choose what you like or what might interest you and then you can do training depending on what level you chose,you are then given multiple choice options on what is next,i picked a surgical operation,you are then presented with multiple choice answers on proceeding with the said operation and then you are scored on your progress…
Lets look at what the app has to offer….
Features
With Touch Surgery’s surgical simulator, you can:
-Practice surgery anytime, anywhere…
-Learn operations step-by-step in our training mode
-Experience realistic surgical environments created with state-of-the-art 3D graphics
-Evaluate your knowledge and preparedness in “Test” mode
-Track your results and measure your progress
-Build a personalized library of operations
-Design an ‘in-app curriculum’ that matches your daily schedule
It’s widely accepted that cognitive decision-making should be mastered before you attempt the manual parts of an operation. Or as the surgical mantra goes, “the decision comes before the incision”.
Touch Surgery is built on that foundation. It is changing surgery.
Touch Surgery’s medical content has been developed in collaboration with leading surgeons and surgical institutions worldwide to ensure the utmost accuracy and surgical validity..
Touch Surgery allows you to hone your skills before you operate. Only you can make you the best surgeon, but Touch Surgery will help you get there.
If you are studying medicine or interested in it this app is a must and incredibly intuitive and the UI is also great.. I have tried out a few procedures on the app and its amazing alone what you can learn just using this app about the human anatomy,surgical equipment and more…
MobileFusion is a research project that turns ordinary mobile phones into 3D scanners without any additional hardware. The resulting 3D scans are detailed enough for 3D printing or use in augmented-reality games.
This uses typical RGB camera on most mobiles today so it seems that it is not difficult to introduce to mobiles..
The researchers say the system, called MobileFusion, is better than other methods for 3D scanning with a mobile device because it doesn’t need any extra hardware, or even an Internet connection, to work. That means scientists in remote locations or hikers deep in the woods can capture their surroundings using a regular cell phone without a Wi-Fi connection.
Currently, the researchers are working on making sure the system works with all types of mobile devices, including Windows Phone, Android and iPhone devices. Izadi said they hope to eventually make it available to the general public in some form, but there are no firm plans right now.
See more here it will be interesting to see if and when this will be available and what platform gets it first. of late Microsoft seem to be catering for everyone but itself when it comes to apps.

Meet Petcube the new way to interact with your pets even when you are not at home
The Petcube Camera is the first product of its kind that allows pet owners to watch, talk and play with their pets from their smartphone, and even from their smart watch by offering a free mobile app for iOS and Android devices.
No matter what kind of animal you own you’ll always need to “keep an eye” when you’re gone and “little cube” can help you with that
Petcube is a 4 x 4 x 4 inches gadget with tons of stuff in it, take a look:
138° degree wide angle camera streaming HD 720p video
Connects to home Wi-Fi
LED notification
2-way audio stream through built-in microphone and speaker
Built-in 5mW 3R class laser, certified & safe (To play and interact with your kittens and puppies)
Non-slip bottom surface, standard tripod mount
110/240 power adapter (US type plug)
and is iOS (iOS 7.0 or greater) & Android (4.0 or greater) compatible.
Above of all there’s the Petcube App which lets you watch, talk and play with with pets from all over the world with their own mini Instagram.
Even if you don’t have your own Petcube Camera yet, you can use the app to watch some pet’s life, and the life of future pets, because the team behind all this made donations to pet shelters so you can see and help the cutest animals to get a family and a home.
(You’ll get the best viewing angle by placing the device 3 feet off the ground or higher)
There’s also an app for the Apple Watch to keep you updated without the hassle to look for your phone.
But enough talk! Take a look for yourself
As you can see is simple yet effective, if what you want is to “keep an eye” at home while you’re out and have the chance to talk with your pet anywhere, here’s the solutions for you.
Yes you read that correctly,there is now an app to talk to others whilst you are sitting on the big white telephone,that be the toilet for those who never have heard that saying….Mostly when i go to the loo i check my twitter or play a quick game of pool or 4 pics one word ,the last thing i would be doing to talk to someone but now you can if this is your thing.You will try it out though,you can even describe your poo to others which is rather crap talk..
Last year this was initially launched on kickstarter by Ricardo Gruber but only raised €184 of a €10,000 goal.The app is also about hygiene awareness too..
“While this idea sounds both funny and a little bit ridiculous, it’s our approach on trying to have a positive impact in the world. How? We hope to connect Pooductive with some big charities that focus on both clean water and improving hygiene in developing countries. However, the hype around our app came very quickly and unexpectedly, which means that the “charitable” aspect of Pooductive has not yet been launched. We’re working as fast as we can to realise our mission and get the charities we have already connected to – on board. We hope that through this, Pooductive can have a positive impact – which has always been our intention.”
Described as follows – Think of it as a magical place where people from around the globe can anonymously meet to enjoy their time of zen, peace and tranquility together, by conversing, philosophising and sharing ideas with each other. You can add friends, have group chats or simply enjoy a 1 on 1 conversation.
You could simply call it a messaging app if you wanted to, but it’s so much more. It’s a community, made up of people who are all in the same position as you…pardon the pun. And that is the exact reason why it is so much better and more entertaining then simply reading the back of a shampoo bottle or just playing any other odd game.
Its free and if you fancy chatting to somone in the world whilst you poo you can download HERE
Knock Knock is the easiest way to connect, chat and exchange contact information with people around you. By just knocking twice on your phone, Knock Knock remembers the names of the people you’re with and where you met.It might also kill the business card and you can share select information with those close by who are using the app,this makes things easier too..it provides contact with select people with not having to worry about commitment. Knock Knock was created by Humin
For anyone who has ever forgotten a name 10 seconds after meeting someone, has given out a fake number or walked out of a room wishing they’d had the courage to talk to the cute guy a few tables down, the world is about to get much less awkward.
Knock Knock makes any social interaction light and fun. There’s no need to hand over a personal phone number immediately; users can connect first within the app and chat to their heart’s desire, then share as much or as little of their contact details and social media handles (with the option of sharing more down the line).
When connecting with a group of people in the same place, only one person needs to open the app, while everyone else in the group can simply knock twice on their locked phones in their pockets or on the table, and they’ll instantly be added to a group chat. Each person can selectively deal out his or her contact details and social handles to the individuals in the group.
Knock Knock is perfect for:
– Exchanging contact info with people you’ve just met.
– Sharing moments with a group throughout a festival or a weekend away, then staying in touch when you get back.
– Leading a pub crawl or other adventure with a big group.
– Connecting everyone after a dinner party.
– Taking attendance at a meeting
…. and more! Knock Knock is perfect for any time you’re out with people!
