JiffPad Creates Personalized Medical Diagrams Via iPad

There's a report at TechCrunch about JiffPad, an app for facilitating communication between health professionals and patients.

The app provides a set of pre-rendered medical diagrams that can be linked together into digital narratives for explaining medical concepts to patients visually.  The presentation can also be sent to them electronically so the patients can share it with their family or caregivers.

While the app seems to primarily focus on anatomical concepts, other images can be loaded into the program and incorporated into presentations.

It sounds like there might be some promise in using this app to explain medication mechanism-of-actions to patients.
