Avatar Medical, a pioneer in real-time, patient-specific 3D medical imaging, announced that its flagship solution, Avatar Medical Vision, can now be launched directly from within a patient's Epic Systems electronic health record (EHR). This integration marks a significant step forward in making interactive 3D anatomy a seamless part of clinical consultations and surgical planning, potentially improving how clinicians visualize and communicate complex medical information.
The ability to access patient-specific 3D models directly through Epic, one of the most widely used EHR systems, means clinicians can now view and manipulate a patient's own anatomy in just a few clicks, without leaving the patient's chart. This reduces friction in the clinical workflow and brings the technology closer to the point of care. Avatar Medical Vision transforms standard CT and MRI scans into interactive, lifelike 3D representations instantly and without the need for segmentation, a process that traditionally requires significant time and expertise. By integrating with Epic, Avatar Medical is making this advanced visualization readily available during consultations, where it can help clinicians explain complex anatomy and treatment options to patients more clearly and effectively.
The integration is part of Avatar Medical's broader vision for Visual Intelligence for Surgery, which aims to make visual intelligence accessible throughout the entire surgical care journey—from initial consultation and preoperative planning to the operating room. The first implementation is already underway at UHealth - University of Miami Health System, signaling real-world adoption of this technology. This move could have far-reaching implications for surgical care, as it enables more informed decision-making and better patient engagement. For more details, click here.
Founded in 2020, Avatar Medical has quickly established itself as a leader in medical imaging innovation, with FDA-cleared and CE-marked products and partnerships with more than 20 hospitals across the U.S. and Europe. The company's technology originated from research conducted at Institut Curie and Institut Pasteur, underscoring its strong scientific foundation. By embedding its solution within Epic, Avatar Medical is not only enhancing clinical workflows but also paving the way for broader adoption of visual intelligence in surgery.
