- interactive touch-screen elements and high quality animation specifically designed for this app: includes heart sounds, assessment of capillary refill time, Quincke’s sign, heaves, thrills, pulse rhythm and character, measuring blood pressure and the JVP, and much more...
- high quality photographs demonstrating the examination steps
- accompanying text for each section which can be copied onto the clipboard and integrated into your own notes
