iPod Educational App






The iPhone user interface with its multi-touch screen offer a friendly, simple and advanced experience that is of great advantage for educational applications.

Tamooz has developed an educational tool for Medtronic spinal chord stimulation treatments. Medtronic is a world leader in medical technologies and pioneering therapies, and has developed Neurostimulators that treat pain by sending mild electrical impulses to the epidural space near the spine. These impulses replace pain with a tingling sensation.

The application provides a simple and helpful tool that imitates how the spinal cord moves within the spinal canal according to patient various body positions. Developed to show how changes in body posture affect the spacing between the spinal cord and vertabrae, this is a quick and easy tool to help physicians and their patients better understand how spinal neurostimulators are affected by patient movement.

This app leverages the accelerometer in the iPhone and iPod Touch to make it easy to demonstrate how a spinal cord stimulation device can automatically increase and decrease stimulation to help manage a patients' pain without the patient needing to constantly reach for a programmer.
