Florian's Thoughts on AKIVI

“Anatomy plays a central role in the daily work of doctors and other healthcare professionals. Understanding anatomy is challenging and requires daily practice. AKIVI’s philosophy is to present anatomy in a practical way, as taught at the patient’s bedside, with hints and tips from the teachers. AKIVI’s aim is to convey in simple language, in the form of short lessons and assessments, all the skills to become a competent healthcare professional and pass your exams. Because we will need to learn anatomy throughout our professional careers, we want to develop progressive content and make the application evolve over time. When you subscribe to AKIVI, you are supporting a project that makes anatomy accessible… and exciting! We have lots of ideas for development! Do you have specific needs? Let’s talk!”

Cyril's Thoughts on AKIVI

“As a 3D specialist, I’m constantly updating the AKIVI app with 3D views you can display on your smartphone. AKIVI features medical imaging, dissections and sometimes even sculptures reconstructed in 3D. allows for better spatial comprehension Daily interaction with doctors and professors of various specialties has given me valuable insight into the different levels of transmission for anatomical and medical knowledge. AKIVI is a means of sharing knowledge. I am really proud of it.”

Reynald's Thoughts on AKIVI

“In a previous life, I managed a fair number of local and regional projects. I even experienced the ultimate entrepreneurial satisfaction when I sold my company to one of France’s leading online players. When Florian and Cyril asked me to help them make their case, as a web project manager I immediately understood the importance of their work for the education sector and the medical community. In a world where machines talk to machines, where users need digital reference points and more than ever seek truthful information, taking charge of AKIVI’s communication transcends responsibilities. Since 2017, AKIVI has brought together all the dynamics it has encountered. And understandably so. I have absolutely no medical background. Nor am I an academic. And yet, exploring the AKIVI app inspires me at every turn. If you too are sensitive to the idea of “transmission of knowledge”, you will understand what I’ve just written… The AKIVI train is entering the station. Get on board!”
