TechTool review Touch Surgery on iOS and Android

The Touch Surgery app is unlike any app I’ve seen before. It simulates surgical procedures to allow teaching and testing of students and trainees. Touch Surgery has a huge team behind it who have created surgical simulation software. The procedures and operations contained in the app are authored by different surgeons from across the world.The aim is to develop a collaborative resource consisting of best surgical practice in order to share and learns with other health professionals

This app is a pleasure to use. Everything from the icon, the screen layout, the fonts, and colour schemes are just right. Navigation through the app is smooth and it did not crash on me at all. A model for how medical apps should look

In spite of the technical glitches I experienced, I love this app. The graphics and design are among the best I’ve seen and there a great team of experienced healthcare professionals and developers behind this.I seemed to have a lot of bad luck when using this app, however. I suspect some of the restrictions were due to pending verification of my account, but if this was made clearer in the app then it would be less frustrating for users.

The modules that I was able to complete were really helpful from an anatomy point of view, and also will be handy if I ever decide on a career change. I now feel pretty confident that I could do a carpal tunnel release without any supervision, so maybe I’ll look at surgical training next.
