BoneID SAR

Read full description

BoneID SAR is a field decision-support tool for search-and-rescue teams and for the forensic identification of skeletal remains. BONE REFERENCE LIBRARY Browse the major bones of the human body by region. Each entry lists the features that mark a bone as human, the common animal look-alikes (bear paw, deer, pig, and more), and a field tip for the "is it human?" call. Tap any reference photo to open it full-screen and pinch to zoom for close comparison against your find. LOG AND SHARE FINDS Photograph a discovered bone and record its type, suspected species, estimated age, a human-likelihood assessment, and field notes. Submit it to a shared community database your team can search and review. LOCATION PRIVACY BUILT IN Locations of possible human remains are sensitive. The public database shows only a blurred, approximate area — never the exact spot. Precise coordinates are stored in a separate, access-controlled record available only to authorized authorities and moderators. MODERATION AND VERIFICATION Any find can be reported. Flagged items enter a moderation queue where moderators can keep, hide, or remove them. Experts curate the reference library and verify photos before they are shown as confirmed. You can delete your data and account at any time from the Home screen. IMPORTANT BoneID SAR is decision support, not a forensic diagnosis. Telling human from non-human bone is difficult even for experts. When in doubt, treat remains as human and potential evidence: preserve the scene and notify law enforcement or a medical examiner.

BoneAge estimates a child's skeletal age from a hand X-ray in seconds — entirely on your device. BoneAge reads a hand/wrist X-ray the way radiologists do: it examines the finger joints, thumb, carpal bones, and the growth plates of the wrist, then reports an overall bone age in years and months. BONE AGE ASSESSMENT • Select a hand X-ray image and get a result in seconds • Overall skeletal age in years and months • 17 anatomical regions detected and marked on the image, each with its own regional age estimate — see at a glance whether maturation is even • Automatic image validation: photos and non-radiograph images are politely declined GROWTH & ADULT HEIGHT — FREE • Enter age, height, weight, and the parents' heights • Adult height prediction from the child's current growth percentile, plus the classic mid-parental (Tanner) genetic target range • CDC growth-chart percentiles for height, weight, and BMI, with beautiful interactive charts showing exactly where your child sits PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All analysis runs on your device — X-ray images never leave your phone • No account, no tracking, no data collection LANGUAGES English, 简体中文, Español FREE AND PRO The free version validates your image and shows the detected regions; the growth calculator is fully free. Unlock complete results — the overall bone age and all 17 regional ages — with a single-use Credit or the Bone Age Pro subscription (auto-renews until cancelled in your store account settings). IMPORTANT BoneAge is for informational and educational purposes only. It is not a medical device, has not been evaluated by any regulatory authority, and must not be used for clinical diagnosis or treatment decisions. Bone age estimates carry a typical error of several months. Always consult a qualified clinician about your child's growth and development.
