Medivis Unveils Next-Generation Anatomy Education Platform

NEW YORK, March 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Medivis, a medical imaging and visualization company, today announced the launch of "AnatomyX" -- its augmented reality (AR) platform for anatomy education. Currently enabled on Microsoft's HoloLens AR technology and Magic Leap's spatial computing device, Magic Leap One, AnatomyX offers any member of a large university or medical institution -- students, instructors and administrators -- an enterprise-grade learning platform for the study of human anatomy, physiology and pathology.

Benefits and features of AnatomyX include:

    --  Exceptional Life-Like Detail: Provides access to expertly modeled male
        and female bodies from real patient CT/MRI imaging, with more than 5,000
        unique structures that are continuously updated for ever-growing detail.
        Each model includes advanced textures, normal maps and lighting for a
        superior photorealistic experience.
    --  State-of-the-Art Interactive Design: Users can access more than 100
        voice commands for easy navigation by system and/or region. Hand gesture
        controls using the latest in computer vision technology are also
        available along with advanced speech recognition API for medical
        terminology. Exclusively with Magic Leap, an optional
        six-degree-of-freedom control is integrated for precise interactions.
    --  Powerful Dashboards: Secure accounts can be created on the platform for
        every student, professor and administrator. All data, including
        quiz/test results, is securely stored in the Medivis cloud
        infrastructure. The platform's advanced analytics then allow for
        powerful instructor insight into student and class progress.
    --  Multi-User Collaboration: The platform allows for real-time
        collaboration with up to 20 users simultaneously and advanced modes
        including dissection, isolation, and mastery. The platform provides
        limitless self-exploration and/or expertly guided instruction.

"AnatomyX has evolved from an app to a rich platform for the interactive study of human anatomy," said Jennifer Esposito, Vice President, Health at Magic Leap. "AnatomyX pushes the boundaries of Magic Leap's technology -- incorporating unique interaction elements and user sensing capabilities to provide students and instructors an innovative platform to learn and teach. We're thrilled to be a part of Medivis' journey as they take anatomy education to new heights."

Leading medical institutions and universities such as West Coast University are already using AnatomyX to accelerate their learning curriculums. Initial research from pilot institutions has shown:

    --  15% higher student performance on standardized assessments
    --  90% of students reported enhanced understanding of curriculum material
    --  90% of students reported strong value with the overall learning
        experience

Pilot partnerships are available to assess the quantitative and qualitative enhancements to the student educational experience. Participants gain access to the Medivis library of content and comprehensive technical support to ensure success.
