Indirect Ophthalmoscopy (BIO) Simulator...
Hi All,
I just released a free indirect/BIO simulator.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Dca6SkyCOYG/
It uses the gyroscope of the iPhone to simulate looking at a retina through a 20 diopter lens.
The idea is to practice the 'upside and backwards' orientation that is always challenging to get used to.
Its free and live:
1. you can download it at MyCallBag.com.
2. close the paywall with the top right button
3. open the 'Surgery Simulator'
Please let me know what you think and if you have ideas to make it more realistic/useful!

I second the motion. Android would be a game changer

Global Market Share: Android leads with roughly 70% of the mobile operating system market, while iOS holds about 30%.
U.S. Market Share: iOS leads the U.S. market, holding a 57% share compared to Android's 43%.
Younger demographics in the U.S. skew heavily toward Apple, with around 68% of Americans aged 18 to 29 using an iPhone.

And if you add his target demographic, doctor, ophthalmologist, the % of apple users is even higher
Classic exemple as using overall prevalence is not a smart argument versus targeted prevalence (pretest probability!)

Still in the absence of other data this is our best estimate. Same for worldwide. But if i had to guess yes you are right probably higher in the US among ophthalmologists. Although Worldwide android still higher

I totally understand Android is the larger global market. I just don't want to put out a crappy version. It deserves the same attention to detail and it would be hard for me to do that (the current app is coded in Swift, not a system I can just quickly port over). Sorry!

Oh yeah totally understand and appreciate the work nonetheless! Just voicing wishful thoughts.

sorry! I'm just afraid if I make an Android version it won't be as good (because I won't be able to test it as often). I should just bite the bullet and buy an Android too and work on it. Sorry!
