This is the only application that employs the use of 3D body scanning technology on Asian-specific body to develop the models. The application is now available for free via Google Play and App Store. Users can enter patient parameters including height, weight and gender in to the application. Various 3D anatomical models differentiated by gender and BMI are suggested by the application. The 3D Burn application provides more accurate total body surface area burn measurements when compared to conventional methods as proven by volunteer subjects study and actual usages by various healthcare workers.
