Available on the App Store and Play Store since January 2023, AKIVI’s 3D human anatomy application can be used on both Mac and PC. And it gets even better! After downloading our app and creating an AKIVI account on your smartphone, you will be able to access anatomy courses on the human body and view thousands of 2D and 3D photos and videos on your computer, tablet and smartphone – in iOS and Android environments.
3D view of a human skull available on the AKIVI anatomy app. Our app can be downloaded free of charge in a Freemium version from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
– Anatomy learning support features (progressive diagrams with commentary, expert feedback from recognized anatomy professionals, real-life work scenarios) vs. 2D or 3D atlases, which lack learning support tools (organizational innovation).
– 3D stereoscopic visualization on a smartphone (depth vision) vs. flat or relief 3D visualization using an expensive VR headset (technological innovation).
– Production of images based on real human organs vs. graphics that do not fully reflect the reality of the human body (technological innovation).
– Educational content tailored to the learner’s level vs. generic content for all learners from competing products (organizational innovation).
– Available on all devices (Mac, PC, tablets, Android and iOS smartphones).
AKIVI’s accessible and flexible nature is the main difference between the app and other anatomical software available to healthcare, medical and paramedical students. But that’s not all. Without further ado, let’s get straight to the point with five obvious reasons to choose AKIVI over other human anatomy applications!
The first two challenges addressed by the AKIVI app are to provide a personalized approach to learning human anatomy that is also accessible to as many people as possible. Bringing knowledge to all through simple language, while preserving the scientific spirit for healthcare students, is a strong commitment. These values are directly rooted in the longstanding French anatomical tradition. AKIVI incorporates the latest medical technologies while promoting hands-on anatomical learning. Subscribing to the AKIVI project means joining a university community and contributing to the development of a new way of transmitting scientific knowledge.
AKIVI’s technological approach differs from other 3D anatomy applications in that it offers stereoscopy on a smartphone. The AKIVI app does away with – now traditional – virtual reality headsets. Regardless of your environment, be it Apple or Android.
Each user of the AKIVI app has the option to set up their own customized experience within a single digital platform. Let’s face it! Existing applications are not adapted to the diversity of target groups concerned by the study of human anatomy. For instance, students will progress throughout their curriculum. The general public’s interest will differ from the needs of medical or paramedical professionals.
AKIVI brings these audiences together by offering them a single access point to a range of 2D and 3D content, from which they can choose, based on their skills, preferences and academic or professional background, anatomical themes structured into groups such as “surgery“, “medical imaging“, “dissection” or “modeling“.
But please note that AKIVI is not an atlas – you wouldn’t learn to read with a dictionary. With AKIVI, you don’t follow arrows, but have access to authentic anatomy lessons to complement your academic training. No other software on the market offers content with such adaptability to different user profiles.
Another key differentiator is the academic nature of our approach and our team. AKIVI certifies its content both on an academic level (by professors who are members of health faculties) and on a medical level – a quality factor in the transmission of anatomical and academic knowledge. AKIVI is the first application developed for Mac and Android to be scientifically certified by members of the Laboratory of Anatomy of the Faculty of Health of Angers and by French anatomists. See the full list of contributing anatomy professors in the dedicated section of our website! Why choose AKIVI? Because our anatomy application is available free of charge in a Freemium version. This means that a large part of its content is accessible to the widest possible audience!
The educational impact of AKIVI has been proven by surveys among healthcare students. Scientific studies carried out by Angers’ Laboratory of Anatomy have shown that the AKIVI platform’s range of features had a real positive impact on the quality of learning (speed, durability, assimilation).
Let’s not forget that AKIVI is a French initiative! As many users have said: “Courses in French, at last!“ It’s worth noting that the major players in digital anatomy learning on smartphones or computers mainly come from the American continent (“Visible Body”, “Anatomy Learning”, “Essential Anatomy“). And let’s venture another comparison and mention Europe’s “Complete Anatomy“, developed by Elsevier (based in the Netherlands). We recommend that you try out these tools and compare them with our own.
AKIVI is different from other medical simulation apps. There are many virtual reality and simulation applications, such as VirtualiSurg. They are very different from our software. These applications focus on procedural maneuvers. AKIVI comes into play ahead of training. AKIVI could provide the necessary and sufficient theoretical training before any simulation procedure is carried out.
Not convinced by the above arguments? Here are five more reasons to adopt our human anatomy app! Remember, you can download AKIVI and try it out.
