Medicalholodeck supports nursing education by providing a hands-on introduction to anatomy, physiology, and clinical imaging. Using interactive 3D tools in virtual and augmented reality, nursing students can explore the human body and patient data in a way that complements both theory and practical training.

Accessible via VR headsets and iOS mobile devices, the platform allows students to work with lifelike anatomical models and real patient imaging, helping them build core medical knowledge. With Medicalholodeck, nursing students can strengthen their understanding of anatomy, patient care, and diagnostic imaging.

• Basic anatomy and patient care education
• Integration into nursing simulation curricula
• Learn to read and interpret clinical imaging

By using spatial technology (augmented and virtual reality), complex topics become easier to understand, enabling more effective learning and better retention.

Basic anatomy and patient care education

Medicalholodeck helps nursing students develop a strong foundation in human anatomy and physiology – essential for understanding patient care. Through detailed 3D anatomical models and virtual dissections, students can examine organs and systems, rotate structures in space, and visualize functional relationships within the body.

The platform supports all learning levels with four key modules:

Anatomy Master:

A structured 3D atlas ideal for building essential anatomical knowledge. Read more

Dissection Master:

High-resolution virtual dissections for in-depth study of body structures. Read more

Medical Imaging:

Load real CT and MRI data to learn the basics of diagnostic imaging. Read more

Medicalholodeck AI:

Use automatic segmentation to visualize and analyze anatomical structures from actual scans. Read more

Integration into nursing simulation curricula

Medicalholodeck can be embedded into nursing simulation labs as a supplement to mannequin-based or physical simulations. It enhances clinical reasoning and supports decision-making training through realistic anatomy and imaging.

In simulation-based education, students can:

• Explore anatomical variations and pathologies
• Compare patient cases with normal anatomy
• Use AI-segmented scans to prepare for hands-on patient care

This makes Medicalholodeck a powerful tool for both standalone learning and blended simulation training environments.

Learn to read and interpret clinical imaging

Medicalholodeck gives nursing students access to medical imaging education. By working with real DICOM data in 3D, they can learn to recognize anatomical landmarks, understand basic scan orientations, and build confidence in reviewing clinical images.

Platform access and pricing

Medicalholodeck is available on standalone VR headsets, PC-VR systems, iPads, and iPhones – making it easy to use in classrooms, labs, or at home. Nursing students and instructors can access the platform on the devices they already use.
