BETHESDA, Maryland – From your womb to your iPhone, a new app takes you up close and personal with embryo development.
The new app, which is available on iTunes and designed for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, is the result of a collaboration between the National Library of Medicine, Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center and the National Museum of Health & Medicine, Human Developmental Anatomy Center.
Scientists and educators used the Carnegie Embryo Collection to create the Virtual Human Embryo database. The collection is housed at the National Museum of Health and Medicine. It’s been used to define normal human embryo development for the past several decades. The new virtual database consists of digital serial sections of human embryos from the collection.
The new “Embryo App” allows the user to interact with the virtual database to better understand an embryo’s development, such as showing human fertilization, pictures of the early stages of embryo development, 2-D and 3-D images, and a pregnancy calculator.
