‘Figure 1’ is a new ‘Instagram-like’ photo app that allows medical professionals to share and identify images of diseases and injuries for medical purposes.
Created by Movable Science, co-founder Joshua Landy described the app as “safe way to share medical images with the medical community, while protecting patients’ privacy”.
Before an image can be uploaded, the poster will be given a consent form, which they would have to sign before the pictures goes up.
Users will also be able to comment and search for pictures uploaded by other users, as well as learn about different ailments.
Since its launch two weeks ago, a hundred over pictures—ranging from “rashes and spots” to “amputated, gangrenous foot a diabetes patient”—have been uploaded.
With the app, it allows doctors and even members of the public to seek help and identify certain conditions and diseases that they are unsure of.
The app is currently free for download from the iTunes Store.
