For physicians
3D models you set during the visit from your patient's workup. They leave with their model on their phone, in their language.

In your browser, nothing to install, no sign-up. Free to show the diagnosis; the patient never needs an account.
The challenge
A radiograph or an MRI means little to a patient, and only 12% of U.S. adults have proficient health literacy (National Assessment of Adult Literacy). What they hear during the visit is soon forgotten, and their family was not there. EMET Education shows them their own injury in 3D, then the treatment you recommend, and leaves it all with them to review at home.
You set the model from the exam and imaging: location, type, stage, using the reference classifications. The patient sees what you see, from the angle you choose.
They scan the QR code: their model, their findings and the proposed treatment follow them on their phone, in their language. They review them with their family, as often as they like.
How it works
The images below are real screenshots of one model, the clavicle fracture.
The “Pathology & lesions” panel describes the lesion in specialist vocabulary, and the reference classification is displayed live.
The treatment plays step by step, continuously or one step at a time: nonoperative, rehabilitation, injection, arthroscopy, fracture fixation or arthroplasty, depending on the model.
Tapping a bone, a fragment, a ligament or an implant shows its name and an explanation written for the patient, in their language.
At the end of the visit, the Consultation panel shows the anatomical findings, the proposed treatment and a QR code. The model image downloads for the chart and prints.
Who it's for
The same models serve every stage of care, from the emergency department to rehabilitation. The settings use specialist vocabulary; the explanations given to the patient are written for them.
The models
Each region has its own page: what each model shows, lesions and treatments, and direct access in 3D.
Try it with your next case: the models open in your browser, nothing to install.

The free plan is enough to show patients their diagnosis; paid plans add treatments and customization. The patient never needs an account or a subscription.

Models made your own.
Studio: custom work for large practices and industry, with animations of your techniques and implants.
Patient information
Each visit created with an account keeps a record of the information provided: what was shown, when, and whether the patient reviewed it. Informed consent, as the Joint Commission puts it, is more than getting a signature.
“Document the informed consent conversation and the patient’s (or surrogate’s) decision in the medical record in some manner.”
Educational tool: it supports the consent conversation and the written consent form, it does not replace them. Data and privacy: legal information (in French).
Questions
Yes: the free plan opens every model, to show patients their diagnosis: most conditions and lesions. Treatments and other features are paid options.
No, never: they scan the QR code or open the link, without signing up, whatever your plan.
Not to open a model, set the lesion and walk through the treatment. After about fifteen adjustments, you will be asked to create a free account: it saves your visits, picks them up from one time to the next, and records when the patient opens the link.
Just a web browser, nothing to install: computer, tablet or TV screen in the exam room; the patient opens it on their phone. One click saves an image, without the interface, for the chart.
No patient names are stored. The link given to the patient carries only the state of the model: lesion, treatment, language and visit date. A name written on the image you hand out stays on that image.
A few adjustments and one procedure played: a few minutes, during the visit. The patient reviews it at home, as often as they like.
No: it is an educational tool. It does not diagnose, does not plan surgery, and does not replace the consent conversation or the written consent form. Among software functions that are not medical devices, the FDA lists those intended for general patient education and interactive anatomy diagrams used for training.
It is planned for upcoming plans: the model displayed on a practice or hospital website, credited to EMET Education.
English, Spanish, French and Russian. The patient receives the model in the language chosen during the visit, which helps with the roughly 28 million people in the U.S. with limited English proficiency, alongside a qualified interpreter, not instead of one.
