ABSTRACT
A selective sample of the latest innovations in health education based on digital and technological applications are presented. In particular, we focused on the contributions developed by VisualMed System (Medical Visualization Systems) Group in the field of medical learning and teaching. Applications are presented in the following order: first, anatomical and functional viewers; second, simulation environments for training purposes; and third, applications for smartphones and tablets. All the applications provide multiple interactivity features and rich visual learning material aimed to promote an autonomous learning process to support traditional teaching methods. Finally, implications for teaching and learning in health sciences are discussed.
