The Cinematic Reality app enables users to view immersive, interactive holograms of the human body captured through real-world medical scans. Surgeons, medical students or patients could use this technology. Visualizing through the app could assist in surgical planning or medical education, as well as helping patients visualize procedures.
Siemens Healthineers said it made the app available on the Apple App Store.
“Cinematic Reality gives people the opportunity to immerse themselves in a world of photorealistic renderings of the human anatomy. Apple Vision Pro perfectly presents that three-dimensional experience, combined with great flexibility and standalone use. We see great potential for the technology for clinical as well as educational purposes,” said Christian Zapf, head of Digital and Automation at Siemens Healthineers.
With Cinematic Reality, users can zoom into details of clinical images, enlarge content and rotate around a human body rendering. It provides two-dimensional reading tools like scrolling and allows clinical case visualization without the need for an additional computer.
Siemens Healthineers said the app helps provide a more realistic way of visualizing organs or body parts. This makes it easier to explain clinical cases to patients, discuss clinical questions or educate students. Down the line, the company thinks it could assist in pre-operative planning and communication.
The news from Siemens Healthineers comes weeks after Stryker announced a myMako app for Apple Vision Pro and iPhone to accompany its Mako surgical robotics systems. When used on Apple Vision Pro, myMako allows surgeons to visualize and review patients’ Mako surgical plans anytime, anywhere.
