Augmented Reality 3D Anatomy Now Available From Orca Health
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Today, Orca Health, Inc. announced the release of a new iOS app with the first simple to use and widely available application of Augmented Reality in a healthcare setting.
The Orca Health App, launched in conjunction with Apple's release of iOS11, includes enhancements and additions to Orca's already-extensive library of 3D animations. This library consists of an unrivaled collection of diagnosis and treatment videos, as well as dynamic and static stretches and exercises, that can be used for pre/post-operative physical and occupational therapy.
"Apple's latest iOS is now the world's preeminent Augmented Reality platform," said Orca Health Vice President of 3D Engineering Dan Lyman. "The possibilities that presents for Orca Health in healthcare are boundless."
Via an iPhone or iPad, Orca Health app users can view 3D anatomical models, in real space. Users can walk around the body and see 3D anatomical images from different angles, as if they were right in front of them.
The Orca Health application has broad implications for healthcare and education. With world-class 3D medical animations, the Orca Health app has a unique opportunity to disrupt healthcare. By bringing high quality animations to life via Augmented Reality through the new iOS11 update, Orca Health simplifies and personalizes complex and difficult-to-understand medical concepts.
This feature will help patients and students better understand the orientation of anatomical features, including their size in relation to an actual human body and other objects around them.
"Orca's AR (Augmented Reality) Anatomy is a remarkable educational tool. It enables users, regardless of their health literacy, to understand the scale and makeup of our anatomy," added Lyman. "By placing these 3D models right in front of users at life-like scale, this tool has the potential to change the course of health and medical education."
With this new application, Orca Health maintains its position at the forefront of Augmented Reality in healthcare. Orca Health is changing patient education, engagement and the overall patient experience. This will help patients make better healthcare decisions, leading to better overall health outcomes.
Available at an affordable monthly or yearly subscription, the Orca Health App will enhance the lives of healthcare providers, medical students, educators and patients alike by providing them with world-class technology and education not available on any other platform.
