3D Organon is a medical and healthcare platform.
It was initially developed by anatomists Dr. Athanasios Raikos and Dr. Panagiota Kordali.
It was originally designed for lectures but has since grown into a more generalized tool for medical education.
It is now integrated into hospitals, libraries and universities.
Features
The platform allows users to manipulate anatomical structures, including bones, muscles, vessels, and organs, in 3D space, providing an interactive exploration of the human body. Users can study body systems, examine anatomical terminology through both visual and auditory channels, and access descriptive texts. The software is designed to enhance experiential learning by offering immersive, hands-on experiences with over 4,000 anatomical structures.
Modules
3D Organon has modules:
• Anatomy Module: The flagship module, known for its detailed and interactive 3D anatomical models, offers a wide array of educational activities to facilitate learning.
• Assessment/Quiz Module: This module encourages active engagement by requiring users to explore 3D models to answer questions, enhancing knowledge retention through interactive assessment.
• Ultrasound Simulator: A dynamic tool that simulates ultrasound scans, providing users with practical, hands-on experience in a controlled, virtual environment.
• XR Medical Imaging Module: This feature allows users to upload medical files and instantly view immersive 3D visualizations of DICOM images.
• Medverse: A virtual environment where educators and institutions can host multi-user training sessions, offering an interactive platform for collaborative online learning.
Applications
3D Organon is versatile and widely used across various educational settings, including:
• Individual Study: Self-directed learning through the platform’s interactive tools.
• Group Teaching: Small-group tutorials and large lecture settings.
• Virtual Classrooms: Online classes hosted by institutions and educators.
• Patient Education: Used to enhance patient understanding of medical conditions and treatments.
• Surgical Planning: Assists surgeons in visualizing anatomical structures for pre-operative planning.
• Clinical Skills Training: Helps users practice and hone their clinical skills.
• Cadaveric Dissection: Provides a virtual alternative to traditional dissection practices.
• Medical Research: Offers an innovative tool for researchers to explore anatomical models and medical imaging.
Usage
The platform has garnered trust from over 600 top-tier institutions worldwide.
It has also received attention from media outlets. It was featured in a keynote address by Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), at the Oculus Connect 3 (OC3) conference.
Publications such as Huffington Post, Scimex, SBS, and Futurism have recommended 3D Organon as a tool for science, education, and medicine.
