Actual BODY//ATLAS prototype showing regional intervention records on a human anatomical reference with an evidence panel
Actual local prototype, October 19, 2026. Dots represent indexed records, not implant sites. Anatomy adapted from Kristen Browne and Heidi Schlehlein, Human Reference Atlas united male v1.5 (2023), CC BY 4.0; display color, transparency, and overlays modified.

Problem

Understanding an intervention requires connecting anatomy, regulatory documents, clinical investigations, and literature across separate systems.

My contribution

  • Built a rotatable anatomical interface with intervention selection, source inspection, historical events, comparisons, and cited Markdown briefs.
  • Acquired bounded public FDA, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and NIH RePORTER records while preserving identifiers, retrieval dates, and source hashes.
  • Separated physical placement, tissue interface, measurement, and intended target in the curated neurotechnology examples.
  • Kept automatically indexed anatomical mentions Provisional, with exact source excerpts and an explicit review queue. Record dots indicate regional membership rather than implant coordinates.

Results

  • The October 19, 2026 snapshot contains 2,490 authentic source records, 650 source-indexed FDA applications across 39 regions, and ten curated neurotechnology entries.
  • Recorded local verification on October 19 passed 29 domain/data checks, 24 ingestion checks, 16 desktop/mobile-emulated browser checks, TypeScript, and the production build. These checks do not measure independent scientific accuracy.

Limitations

  • Public research preview at /atlas. The interactive application serves a bounded cached snapshot, not a live data service or a clinically validated reference.
  • The 721 automatically indexed anatomical relationships are Provisional source-text contexts, not verified device placements. No independently adjudicated anatomical precision estimate is available.
  • An FDA application is not necessarily a distinct device family. Historical clearance, approval, and De Novo decisions do not establish current labeling, clinical effectiveness, or FDA endorsement of this project.
  • Coverage is incomplete, including subsequent supplements and safety notices. The male anatomical reference omits some structures; female-only contexts remain text-only. This is not a clinical decision tool.
