We make medical imaging data spatially understandable

Whether in education or in clinical practice, CT and MRI datasets are still viewed almost exclusively as two-dimensional slices. AVANN brings this data into augmented reality as interactive 3D models that can be viewed, rotated and discussed together in space.

Born out of a research project at the University Medical Center Göttingen, our team combines medical engineering, surgery, radiology and software development.

  • Medically grounded

    Developed together with experts in trauma surgery and radiology and tested in practice by radiologists and surgeons.

  • Technologically strong

    Extensive experience in mixed reality, 3D visualisation and intuitive hand-tracking interaction.

  • Regulatory-minded

    Expertise in MedTech quality management and MDR certification has been part of the team from day one.
