Avatar Medical, a pioneer in real-time, patient-specific 3D medical imaging, has announced that Avatar Medical Vision can now be launched directly from within the patient's Epic Systems electronic health record (EHR). This integration marks a significant step forward in making advanced visualization tools more accessible during clinical consultations and surgical planning. By embedding the technology into one of the most widely used EHR systems, Avatar Medical aims to streamline workflows and enhance the way clinicians interact with medical imaging data.
The ability to launch Avatar Medical Vision from Epic means that clinicians can access interactive, patient-specific 3D anatomy in just a few clicks. Previously, accessing such detailed visualizations might have required separate software or cumbersome data transfers. Now, the process is integrated into the clinical workflow, reducing friction and saving valuable time. This is particularly important in fast-paced clinical environments where quick decision-making is critical. The integration brings patient-specific 3D closer to the clinical conversation, transforming standard CT and MRI scans into interactive 3D representations that can help clinicians communicate complex anatomy and treatment options with patients. Improved communication can lead to better patient understanding and informed consent, as well as more efficient surgical planning.
This development is another step toward Avatar Medical's broader vision for Visual Intelligence for Surgery. With the first implementation underway at UHealth - University of Miami Health System, the company is working to make visual intelligence accessible throughout the surgical care journey, from consultation and preoperative planning through the operating room. The integration with Epic is a key milestone in that journey, as it embeds the technology into a system that is already central to clinical operations.

Founded in 2020, Avatar Medical is pioneering Visual Intelligence for Surgery, building a scalable solution that transforms medical imaging into actionable visual information. Its flagship solution, Avatar Medical Vision, converts CT and MRI scans into interactive, lifelike 3D visualizations instantly and without segmentation, giving clinicians a more intuitive way to understand patient-specific anatomy, plan procedures, collaborate and communicate with patients. The company's technology is FDA-cleared and CE-marked, and it works with more than 20 hospitals across the U.S. and Europe. Learn more at avatarmedical.ai.
The integration with Epic is expected to accelerate the adoption of Avatar Medical Vision in clinical settings. By making the tool readily available within the EHR, clinicians are more likely to use it routinely, which could lead to better surgical outcomes and patient experiences. The press kit, available at press kit, provides additional resources. As healthcare continues to digitize, tools that seamlessly integrate into existing systems will be crucial for driving innovation and improving care delivery. This announcement underscores the growing importance of visual intelligence in surgery and the role of EHR integrations in bringing advanced technologies to the point of care.
