Roadmap
Anatomy Nexus: a comprehensive, visual, interconnected human-body knowledge platform. Anatomy is the foundation; every other section connects back to it so a reader can move from body part → structure → function → symptoms → conditions → tests → procedures → treatment → learning.
Phases
Phase 1 · Foundation live
Human anatomy and the data structure everything else connects to.
Phase 2 · High-value educational layer live
Natural extensions of the anatomy content.
Phase 3 · Medical knowledge live
From anatomy into real-world medical knowledge.
Phase 4 · Clinical understanding live
Procedures, medications and clinical terminology. Advanced pathology primers remain planned.
Phase 5 · Public health & practical knowledge live
First aid, emergencies, prevention and lifestyle.
Phase 6 · Advanced interactive platform started
Knowledge graph, personalised learning, image-based learning and clinical cases.
Phase 7 · Comprehensive tests & medications started
Terminology-driven expansion: canonical identifiers, controlled vocabularies, taxonomies and ingestion pipelines so any clinically meaningful test or medicine that maps to an authoritative source can be represented without thin pages.
- Master test taxonomy (36 categories, 837 catalogued concepts) live
- Medication taxonomy (31 therapeutic areas, 536 classes with ATC codes) live
- Controlled vocabularies, drug-name rules and quality gates in the compiler live
- LOINC and RxNorm ingestion pipelines with verification of asserted codes live
- Editorial review queues and provenance metadata live
- Phase 2–3 seed coverage: coagulation, iron, vitamins, hepatitis, HIV, blood pressure, DXA; antiplatelets, beta blockers, SSRIs, macrolides, opioids, antihistamines, inhaled steroids, a vaccine, a contrast agent, a radiopharmaceutical live
- Terminology-driven expansion from LOINC and RxNorm releases (Phase 4 of the specification) planned
- Independent medical review of every clinical page planned
Sections
Physiology live
Anatomy explains what is there; physiology explains what it does. Cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, digestive, renal and endocrine physiology topics will attach to the system and organ pages.
Learn planned
Histology, pathology, embryology and clinical terminology primers.
Symptoms explorer live
Start from what a person experiences (headache, chest pain, knee pain…). Each page: what it is, relevant anatomy, common and less common causes, associated symptoms, when to seek urgent care, related conditions, tests and anatomy. The site educates; it does not diagnose.
Diseases & conditions live
Structured condition pages: definition, affected body part and system, causes, risk factors, symptoms, complications, diagnosis, imaging, treatment, procedures, prevention and references, all linked to anatomy.
Medical tests live
Blood, urine, heart, lung and other tests: what they measure, how they are done, what results generally indicate, and which anatomy they relate to.
Medical imaging live
X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET, mammography and fluoroscopy: how each works, what it shows, how normal anatomy appears and common abnormalities.
Medical procedures live
Appendectomy, knee replacement, angioplasty, endoscopy and more, explained step by step with the anatomy involved.
Medications live
Educational medication pages: class, mechanism, target organ or system, side effects, warnings and related conditions.
First aid & emergency knowledge live
CPR, choking, bleeding, burns, fractures, fainting, seizures and more, aligned with authoritative guidance.
Health & prevention live
How exercise, sleep, nutrition, smoking, alcohol and hydration act on the organs and systems described in the atlas.
Student learning platform live
Flashcards, quizzes, anatomy identification, labeling exercises, viva practice and exam modes for medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, dentistry and allied health.
Knowledge graph live
Every entity carries typed links so a reader can keep exploring: Heart → cardiovascular system → cardiac physiology → coronary arteries → ECG → heart failure → angioplasty → medications → symptoms → tests.
Clinical layer live
Tests, biomarkers, medicines, drug targets, interactions and comparisons as structured, source-backed, region-aware entities: every warning, contraindication, indication, threshold and interaction cites the official document and country it came from, and every page shows its review status.
What comes next planned
Histology, embryology and pathology primers; more conditions, tests and medications on the same schema; image-based learning (labelled radiographs and slides); clinical case studies; progress tracking and personalised revision; a female reference body when an open dataset allows.
