Avatar Medical, a pioneer in real-time, patient-specific 3D medical imaging, has announced that its flagship solution, Avatar Medical Vision, can now be launched directly from within a patient's Epic Systems electronic health record (EHR). This integration means clinicians can access interactive, patient-specific 3D anatomy during consultations and surgical planning with just a few clicks, eliminating the need to switch between separate systems. The development marks a significant step toward embedding advanced visualization into routine clinical workflows, where time and clarity are critical.
The importance of this announcement lies in its potential to bring sophisticated imaging technology closer to the point of care. Epic is one of the most widely used EHR systems in the United States, and integrating Avatar Medical Vision into it reduces friction for clinicians who need rapid access to detailed anatomical views. By transforming standard CT and MRI scans into interactive 3D representations instantly and without segmentation, Avatar Medical Vision helps clinicians explain complex anatomy and treatment options to patients more effectively. This can improve shared decision-making and patient understanding, which are essential components of informed consent and treatment adherence.
Moreover, the integration supports Avatar Medical's broader vision of 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 initial consultation and preoperative planning through the operating room. Seamless access through Epic could accelerate adoption across hospitals and health systems, ultimately enhancing surgical precision and efficiency.

Avatar Medical was founded in 2020 and has developed FDA-cleared and CE-marked technology products. Its solutions originate from research conducted at Institut Curie and Institut Pasteur, and the company currently works with more than 20 hospitals across the U.S. and Europe. By making patient-specific 3D visualization available directly within Epic, Avatar Medical is lowering barriers to adoption and enabling more clinicians to leverage visual intelligence in daily practice. This integration could set a new standard for how surgical and clinical teams interact with medical imaging, moving from static scans to dynamic, interactive models that are immediately accessible.
