Medicalholodeck supports osteopathic and allied health education with interactive 3D tools that emphasize functional anatomy and musculoskeletal structures. Students can explore the human body in virtual and augmented reality, enhancing their understanding of movement, structure, and manual treatment approaches.

Available on VR headsets and iOS devices, the platform enables students to engage with realistic anatomical models, supporting hands-on learning and clinical reasoning. It’s a valuable addition to programs in osteopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, and related disciplines.

• Functional anatomy with osteopathic and musculoskeletal focus
• Supplement palpation and physical exam courses with spatial visualizations
• Combined use with haptic and manual therapy simulation tools

Medicalholodeck helps bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making anatomy more accessible and directly relevant to manual therapies.

Functional anatomy with osteopathic and musculoskeletal focus

Medicalholodeck provides in-depth exploration of the musculoskeletal system, allowing students to understand body structure in relation to function and movement. Through interactive 3D models, they can rotate, dissect, and examine bones, joints, muscles, fascia, and connective tissues in spatial context.

Key modules include:

Anatomy Master:

Visualize body systems, muscle layers, and skeletal anatomy for foundational understanding. Read more

Dissection Master:

Study detailed virtual dissections to explore tissue layers and anatomical relationships. Read more

Medical Imaging:

Learn to read scans of joints, vertebrae, and soft tissue structures. Read more

Medicalholodeck AI:

Use automatic segmentation to highlight musculoskeletal elements in real patient data. Read more

Supplement palpation and physical exam courses with spatial visualizations

Medicalholodeck reinforces physical exam and palpation training by offering a spatial understanding of surface anatomy and underlying structures. Students can connect visual input with tactile practice, improving precision and confidence.

Using mixed reality or augmented reality, users can view anatomical data overlaid directly on or next to real human bodies, gaining an even deeper and clearer understanding of human anatomy.

It’s particularly useful for:

• Identifying anatomical landmarks
• Understanding variations in body structure
• Teaching spatial relationships before hands-on sessions

This enhances learning outcomes in both classroom and lab settings.

Combined use with haptic and manual therapy simulation tools

Medicalholodeck integrates well with manual therapy education and haptic feedback devices. Used alongside simulation tools, it provides context and accuracy, allowing learners to visualize what they feel during therapeutic procedures.

Together, they create a more complete training environment where students can:

• Practice techniques with anatomical awareness
• Visualize internal structures during simulated treatments
• Prepare for real patient interactions with greater clarity

Platform access

Medicalholodeck is available on standalone VR headsets, PC-VR systems, iPads, and iPhones, allowing for flexible use in clinical classrooms, therapy labs, or remote learning.
