When submitting Complete Anatomy for iPad Pro, last September in San Francisco

What is the iPad Pro? And to whom? One answer comes from 3D4Medical, who developed an app starting from the novelties largest of the new Apple tablet, namely the possibility of use as an interface not only the finger, but also a stylus. With Complete Anatomy is possible to display 3D representations of every part of the body, and with Apple Pencil you can interact with precision, for example, to simulate procedures and consequences of surgery.
“The pen enables you to have the precision of a scalpel but remains simple to use,” said John Moore, CEO of the company. “We He worked for two years on this project, initially did not know how to make these pictures, did not even exist a unit. ” Complete Anatomy has several possible uses: for those who want to have a first contact with the human anatomy, for universities, for physicians. But also for patients.
“There are 30 million people in the US who need basic information on anatomy – continues Moore – and a million are nurses. ” America is one of the texts and atlases doctors is a market dominated by McGraw Hill. “The manuals are the same as 50 or 60 years,” argues the CEO 3D4Medical. “But today we can imagine a textbook completely different, that is not flat, but animated, we can see the images from every perspective: is another level of information, more comprehensive and simpler set.”
Born in 2004 in Ireland, producing 3D images of the human body to databases and manual, 3D4Medical evolved with the iPad app, focusing first on the disclosure, then the interaction. “Currently – says Moore – a doctor shows the patient a plastic model or draw a picture to explain the kind of intervention that must be applied. Often, however, it is not enough to be able to decide. We want to provide physicians with the ability to start from a specific template and modify it for each patient. The doctor sends a link, the patient comes with iPad or computer and find all the information they need, both in the case of an operation is if it can be avoided. And before signing the informed consent, you must go through a verification This allows the patient to decide after being informed. America experimentation is already advanced, but we believe that this system can work successfully in the world, ours is a pattern repeated. “
In addition, Complete Anatomy also works as a folder electronic medical record for all patient data. This also lets you see if a doctor has prescribed too often some action, perhaps unaware that there are alternative treatments. And if a hospital has too many requests for reimbursement after a certain type of operation, it means that something is wrong in the procedure and must be revised. The monitoring of patients and their health conditions, in view of 3D4Medical, could lead to a more efficient health care system, a sector where, apart from the tools – the technological level is quite low. “The iPad Pro is a powerful, precise yet simple to use. And the Apple Pencil can simulate the scalpel with much greater accuracy than a finger, where there is the risk of cutting a vein or dissect a tendon. ”
Present often featured on the App Store, and also in the event of the launch of the iPad Pro, last September, 3D4Medical long collaborated with Apple. In the catalog of the company there is also an app that illustrates the functioning of the heart and helps prevent heart attacks; Heart Pro is called, and it is said that the next collaboration with Cupertino does not arise here: “The next step would be to use the data of the Apple Watch,” anticipates Moore.
