Abstract
- In recent times, teaching human anatomy suffered great changes as an increasing number of mobile devices and due applications (apps) were available to users. This paper aims to perform a systematic review on the characteristics of the most downloaded apps as well as on the impact of such apps in academic performance. A systematic review was performed using databases MEDLINE, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science. The keywords included combinations of word related to the use of apps in human anatomy teaching: "anatomy", "mobile applications", "medical education" and "education". Selected apps belong to Apple iOS system. Initially, 184 papers were identified and 6 remained after selection criteria. Out of the 240 most downloaded apps, 12 (5%) are anatomy specific and free. Nine of these included the major human systems and organs and 3 of them were dedicated to specific tissues (muscles, bone or muscle and bones). Despite a large availability of apps, there is a small scientific production on the usability of human anatomy apps and on their effect on academic performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
