M-Care app for iPhone and iPad

M-Care has been designed and developed to complement the study of Science and Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) at Key Stages 1-4+ (UK), to help children understand choices for a healthier lifestyle, and to inspire and cultivate children and young people’s interest and engagement with further education and careers in health and social care.

Learn about the digestive system, the cardiovascular system and the musculoskeletal system as you travel through the human body in these fly-through experiences. Each experience is fully narrated and labelled to offer insights into how the human body works.

Digestive System
Follow the path of food and drink as it makes its way through the body and discover the roles of the organs that make up the digestive tract including the oesophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the liver, the pancreas and the large intestine.

Cardiovascular System
Learn how oxygen in the air you breathe makes its way to every part of your body. Travel into the lungs before journeying through the bloodstream, via the heart, as oxygen is delivered to the organs and carbon dioxide is taken away and expelled.

Musculoskeletal System
Discover how your bones are connected and interconnected with muscles, ligaments and tendons as you fly through the skull, the chest cavity, the pelvis and along the arms and legs to the hands and feet.

Augmented Reality
Explore these systems further in 3D augmented reality. Zoom in and out, and rotate them to get better access and improve learning. Detailed and fully labelled to improve engagement.

The M-Care suite of games reinforces the information learned in other modules through simple tasks based on human biology, healthy eating, health and care sector staff, and treatments.
