“…Following this line, Noguera et al [30] proposed combining both technologies and described a new educational tool designed for learning anatomy in scenarios that require high mobility of the practitioner, e.g., when practising physical therapy on living patients in a physiotherapy teaching laboratory. Their experiments in an actual learning scenario highlighted the positive impact of mobile volume graphics on the learning outcomes of the students.…”

“…For example, Jeong et al [13] and Park et al [14] allow the user to draw vector data directly over the volume using the touch-screen, typically for annotation purposes. Overlapped vector lines are also the standard way to represent a graphical transfer function (TF) editor [6], [18], [30], [23], [24], [32].…”

“…Most solutions [18], [23], [46] typically allow the user to independently control four curves, which are associated with the red, green, blue and transparency color channels, see Figure 5a and 5b. Noguera et al [30], on the contrary, realized that the TF editor should be more accessible to inexperienced mobile users, so they opted for reducing the number of color channels that the user can adjust to just one. Figure 5c shows their proposal.…”

Volume rendering has been a relevant topic in scientific visualization for the last decades. However, the exploration of reasonably big volume datasets requires considerable computing power, which has limited this field to the desktop scenario. But the recent advances in mobile graphics hardware have motivated the research community to overcome these restrictions and to bring volume graphics to these ubiquitous handheld platforms. This survey presents the past and present work on mobile volume rendering, and is meant to serve as an overview and introduction to the field. It proposes a classification of the current efforts and covers aspects such as advantages and issues of the mobile platforms, rendering strategies, performance and user interfaces. The paper ends by highlighting promising research directions to motivate the development of new and interesting mobile volume solutions.

Patients with chronic diseases or people with special health care needs are typically monitored by various health experts that address the problem from several perspectives. These experts usually do not interact directly between them; therefore, the instructions given to the patient by one of them are provided disregarding advices and instructions provided by the others. The collaboration between different health experts in a real context is mandatory to ensure the proper monitoring of the patient. This kind of collaboration, supported by technology, benefits the users' health condition and helps the patient achieve their goals in terms of wellbeing. This paper presents an approach for collaborative management of events related to activity supervisions and monitoring of these patients types. It also introduces a model and a mobile application to support this collaborative work.

Ubiquitous smartphone ownership and reduced face-to-face teaching time may lead to students making greater use of mobile technologies in their learning. This is the first study to report on the prevalence of mobile gross anatomy software applications (apps) usage in pre-clinical chiropractic students and to ascertain if a relationship exists between preferred learning styles as determined by the validated VARK(©) questionnaire and use of mobile anatomy apps. The majority of the students who completed the VARK questionnaire were multimodal learners with kinesthetic and visual preferences. Sixty-seven percent (73/109) of students owned one or more mobile anatomy apps which were used by 57 students. Most of these students owned one to five apps and spent less than 30 minutes per week using them. Six of the top eight mobile anatomy apps owned and recommended by the students were developed by 3D4Medical. Visual learning preferences were not associated with time spent using mobile anatomy apps (OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.12-1.40). Similarly, kinesthetic learning preferences (OR = 1.88, 95% CI 0.18-20.2), quadmodal preferences (OR = 0.71, 95% CI 0.06-9.25), or gender (OR = 1.51, 95% CI 0.48-4.81) did not affect the time students' spent using mobile anatomy apps. Learning preferences do not appear to influence students' time spent using mobile anatomy apps. Anat Sci Educ 9: 247-254. © 2015 American Association of Anatomists.
