would really appreciate some feedback / suggestions / ideas. I know probably most people on HN are not really into anatomy. Nevertheless, it's nice to hear different perspectives. We're not going to be the next facebook, but we really hope to improve how students learn anatomy.

Site looks like it will be very helpful for students/people learning anatomy.

After completing your demo, I joked with a colleague of mine that "I'm already closer to being a doctor".

Would be a great tool for universities, as well as primary and secondary schools. Remembering the names of bones in the body when I was 14 wasn't very enjoyable; this would have made it much more interesting for me. Not to mention that it harps on multiple senses which would have helped me get a better score when I was 14 ;-)

Will there be something more geared towards learning more than what the individual parts are/do besides from naming it from a chart? E.g. more like the biomechanics of it?

At the moment we're focusing on memorizing the actual terms/structures, which seems like that most mundane and frustrating part with 'standard' anatomy learning tools (and the primary reason we created kenHub).

To be honest, we're not too sure what the next steps are. We want to cover the core aspects first before we add more functionality. This is why we're trying to gather some feedback at a fairly early stage.

That said, we're certainly thinking about other aspects of anatomy, medicine and learning we could expand to.

The demo is great. I like the repetition with different ways of asking. It would be nice to have the option of the common English names too, like "iliac crest" instead of "crista iliaca". I'm coming to it from an art perspective rather than a medical one. Does it teach the direction words too? ("anterior", "distal", etc.)
