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 marks a significant step forward in making advanced visualization a seamless part of clinical workflows, potentially transforming how clinicians communicate complex anatomy and treatment options to patients.
The new capability, announced on October 1, 2026, allows clinicians to access interactive, patient-specific 3D anatomy in just a few clicks, without leaving the EHR. By eliminating the need to switch between systems, the integration brings 3D visualization closer to the clinical conversation, where it can have the most impact. Avatar Medical Vision transforms standard CT and MRI scans into interactive 3D representations instantly and without segmentation, giving clinicians a more intuitive way to understand patient-specific anatomy.
For clinicians and patients alike, this means faster, more informed discussions about diagnoses and treatment plans. "Patient-specific 3D is now accessible directly through Epic, one of the most widely used electronic health record systems," the company noted in its announcement. The integration is expected to streamline preoperative planning and enhance shared decision-making, as clinicians can now show patients their own anatomy in a dynamic, 3D format during consultations.
The significance of this development extends beyond convenience. Epic is used by a vast number of hospitals and clinics across the United States, and integrating Avatar Medical Vision into that ecosystem could accelerate the adoption of visual intelligence in surgical care. For the Long Beach and surrounding California area, which is home to a growing healthtech and medical device community, this news underscores the region's role in advancing clinical innovation. While Avatar Medical is headquartered in Paris and Mountain View, its technologies are already deployed in more than 20 hospitals across the U.S. and Europe, and the Epic integration could pave the way for broader use in Southern California health systems.
Avatar Medical's broader vision is to make visual intelligence accessible throughout the surgical care journey, from consultation and preoperative planning through the operating room. The first implementation of this integration is underway at UHealth - University of Miami Health System, signaling a commitment to real-world validation before wider rollout. For hospitals and surgical centers, the ability to launch 3D visualization from within Epic could reduce friction, save time, and improve patient engagement—key priorities in value-based care.
Founded in 2020, Avatar Medical has quickly established itself as an award-winning innovator with FDA-cleared and CE-marked products. Its technology originates from research conducted at Institut Curie and Institut Pasteur, lending it scientific credibility. As the company continues to expand its partnerships, the integration with Epic represents a critical milestone in making patient-specific 3D a standard tool in clinical practice.
