3D4Medical is the developer of Complete Anatomy, a cloud-based learning platform specializing in medical and health & fitness software for student and patient education. It was founded in 2004 by John Moore with the aim of transforming medical education using proprietary 3D technology.[1][2][3]
Overview
3D4Medical initially developed and licensed medical stock imagery that was developed using 3D technology.[4]
The company has a headquarters in Dublin with major offices in San Diego, St. Petersburg, and Krasnodar. The company's app Complete Anatomy uses 3D technology to allow visual digital exploration of the human body.[5]
The company was eventually sold in 2019 to Elsevier in a deal worth €46 million. Life sciences company, Malin Corporation received €17 million for their 38% stake. Its founder received €24 million for his 54% stake in the company.[6]
Products
The 3D technology used by the company in its platforms allows users to interact with a virtual human body. Users can zoom in from any angle, remove layers and structures, and virtually cut through skin, muscles, and bone.
The company offers 29 apps, excluding any app add-ons.[7] Along with their cloud-based platform Complete Anatomy, the company also has iMuscle 2, Complete Heart, HoloHuman, Quiz Anatomy, and Essential Anatomy 5.[7] Microsoft covered 3D4Medical's port of Complete Anatomy to the Windows Store in a blog post.[8]
