Summarize article with AI

In 2017, Innowise partnered with leading medical experts from hospitals and research institutions to explore how 3D visualization can transform healthcare. This collaboration resulted in the creation of a range of MedTech solutions under the VOKA brand name, designed to support patient care and medical education worldwide.

Challenge

Navigating the intricacies of medicine and its vast complexities in both pathology and normal anatomy often presents numerous challenges.

  • Lack of advanced digital resources. There is a shortage of high-quality, interactive digital ecosystems that bring together clinically accurate content. Many institutions still rely on static or outdated materials that fail to meet modern medical standards and reflect the latest research data.
  • Scalability issues. Traditional textbooks and static 2D diagrams are difficult to scale across large audiences or multiple institutions. Creating digital platforms is essential to deliver consistent learning experiences for students and medical staff, expanding educational reach and impact.
  • Engagement gaps. Lecture-based learning is not enough to capture students’ attention. Without visually rich materials, learners struggle to stay focused and retain complex information. This lack of engagement reduces the effectiveness of education and slows skill acquisition.
  • Patient trust and retention issues. Many patients struggle to understand their diagnosis and prescribed care, which results in confusion and poor treatment adherence. Providing doctors with clear, interactive tools to explain these mechanisms helps build trust, improve understanding, and ultimately boosts patient satisfaction and retention.
  • Poor spatial visualization. Scientific papers and flat diagrams can’t show how anatomical structures fit together in their true spatial context. As a result, students and patients often get an incomplete understanding of the human body and its pathologies.
  • Interactivity limitations. Resources such as textbooks don’t allow users to interact with the content. If students and medical professionals can’t rotate, dissect, zoom, or isolate structures, it becomes harder to grasp complex medical topics. Without interactive tools, learning becomes passive and less effective.
  • Data updating & validation. Medicine moves fast, and printed materials can’t keep up. You can’t rewrite a textbook in real time, but in 2026, digital tools are the only way to keep content current and aligned with the latest clinical protocols.

Solution

Our team introduced VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology, a comprehensive digital 3D atlas of human anatomy and pathologies, tailored to web, iOS, and Android platforms. 

To meet the standards of the global medical community, every 3D model within the library is developed in close collaboration with our in-house medical team of 30 professional doctors. This partnership ensures that every anatomical structure and pathology is designed and rendered with absolute clinical accuracy.

To support international collaboration and learning, the application offers full localization in English, German, and Russian, with more languages to come.

3D models

The core of our solution is high-fidelity 3D models of normal anatomy and pathological conditions. To ensure absolute precision, every model is developed based on MRI/CT scans, histology references, and authoritative clinical manuals. Additionally, the catalog is regularly updated to remain strictly aligned with evolving global clinical standards.

Pathology conditions

The 3D atlas features an extensive pathology section that currently hosts 600+ high-fidelity models of pathological conditions. This library provides a comprehensive overview of numerous diseases and disorders across 19 medical specialties, including cardiology, gastroenterology, dermatology, obstetrics and gynecology, endocrinology, and more.

The collection is continually expanding, with new clinical models and rare pathologies added regularly. As a result, the atlas becomes a dynamic, comprehensive ecosystem for studying human health in a realistic, three-dimensional environment.

Normal anatomy

For the anatomy aspect, VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology includes over 350 models divided into several categories:

  • Regional anatomy. Depicting male and female anatomy by region (head and neck, back, thorax, upper and lower limbs) and visualizing the interconnected structures (skin, muscles, joints, bones, vessels, and more).
  • System anatomy. Demonstrating the systems of the human body (skeletal system, system of joints) and their key components (for example, all the bones of the free part of the upper limb).
  • Embryology. Visualizing human development from blastocyst to a birth-ready fetus.
  • Microanatomy. Showcasing the anatomy of various human body systems on cellular and subcellular levels.
  • Biomechanics. Revealing the mechanisms of human body movements, including joint and muscle motion patterns.

Essential features

To maximize the impact, VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology offers a comprehensive suite of features for advanced exploration. Our platform transforms lectures into an immersive experience through the following core functionalities:

  • Variety of interactive tools. Users can virtually dissect the models to visualize internal anatomy and pathology structures, draw directly on models with a 2D or 3D pen to mark specific structures, place text and images next to the model to support explanation, and use color highlights or an on-screen pointer to distinguish important structures.
  • Display modes. You can zoom and rotate models, isolate and hide anatomical structures, visualize organs within their anatomical context via the ‘Topography’ function, and capture 3D model snapshots for further use in presentations and learning materials.
  • Quick access functionality. It’s possible to search for a required model across the entire catalog via a search bar, create custom personal collections of models, and share content with students and colleagues via the deeplinks function.
  • AR mode. This feature is available in the mobile app and lets you interact with structures at a realistic scale. Users can project high-fidelity 3D models directly into physical space (on a mannequin or table), offering a level of spatial depth and anatomical perspective unavailable on standard screens.

Medical articles

The ‘Articles’ section serves as a high-level clinical reference that bridges the gap between 3D visualization and theoretical medical knowledge.

It is a digital library consisting of expert-written clinical guides. Each article is designed to provide a deeper theoretical context for the 3D models in the atlas, ensuring that users also understand the theoretical aspect of real clinical conditions.

Every article is structured to follow a standardized medical logic, covering:

  • General overview. Detailed descriptions of pathologies from anatomical and statistical points of view, including organs and systems affected, prevalence, and more.
  • Clinical presentation. Insights into symptoms, types, and subtypes of various pathologies.
  • Pathophysiology. Explanations of how diseases progress and affect the human body.
  • Diagnostics & treatment. Expert-approved guides on modern diagnostic methods and treatment pathways.

The articles can be used as an exam preparation tool for medical students and a patient education resource for doctors. They are suitable for a layered learning approach: a user can read about a condition in the dedicated article and then instantly jump to the corresponding 3D model to visualize the pathology from multiple angles.

The ‘Articles’ section in the VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology app is perfect for quick reference. If deeper research is needed, you can also use VOKA Wiki. This resource includes expert articles supported by visual content, interactive quizzes, a medical glossary, and AI-generated summaries.
