History
[edit]Brothers Andrew and Matthew Bowditch founded Argosy Publishing in 2007. Argosy Publishing produced content for educational publishers. During the financial crisis of 2007-2008 Argosy switched from producing content for other companies to producing their own content. Later Argosy Publishing would go by Visible Body. Since then, the company has grown to make revenues in the $5 million range. [4]

Human Anatomy Atlas is available in 7 languages.[2]
Audience
[edit]Their apps are typically targeted toward medical students, professors, and healthcare professionals[8], with My Incredible Body being the exception, as it's targeted towards young children.
