Magnetic 3D today announced that the company has signed an expanded agreement with Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) to advance clinical research and applications leveraging the Magnetic 3D’s glasses-free 3D platform. The goal of the agreement is to deliver new immersive solutions for healthcare providers and educational institutions aided by Artificial Intelligence.
The agreement facilitates collaboration between Magnetic 3D and RWJMS to explore a number of exciting applications from new medical devices that could one day assist clinicians in the operating room, to interactive educational tools that bring immersive virtual reality (VR) content to medical students and patients alike, without the need for headsets.
“One of the biggest hurdles with VR and AR technologies is the commitment to wearing a headset or 3D glasses,” said Dr. Naveena Yanamala, PhD, associate professor of medicine, section chief of clinical research & AI Innovation, and director of data science and machine learning research in the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hypertension at RWJMS. She added, “This becomes an obstacle, requiring setup time that clinicians may not have, and can be uncomfortable for students or patients. Glasses-free 3D technology solves these challenges allowing anyone to experience 3D content instantly – a real benefit for all stakeholders.”
One of the key focus areas is cardiology where 3D imaging plays an important role in visualization, education, surgical planning, and training.
“The ability to interact with lifelike, three-dimensional cardiac images without the constraints of headsets or glasses is a game-changer,” said Dr. Partho Sengupta, Chief of Cardiology in the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hypertension at RWJMS & RWJUH. “This collaboration with Magnetic 3D represents a significant step toward more intuitive and immersive tools that will improve diagnostics, education, and ultimately, patient care.”
Together, researchers, educators, and medical students, at RMJMS and Magnetic 3D will make new tools available to clinicians, powered by Artificial Intelligence.
“We are excited to collaborate with Rutgers and contribute to the next wave of healthcare innovation and the development of holographic educational solutions,” said Thomas Zerega, Founder and CEO of Magnetic 3D. He added, “We imagine a future where glasses-free 3D imaging and holographic AI agents elevate education, enhance communication, and ultimately deliver better patient outcomes across the healthcare system.”
As a result of this collaboration, RWJMS and Magnetic 3D will also work together to secure capital supporting these endeavors. Magnetic 3D previously installed its technology at the Center for Innovation, a joint program of RWJMS and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital an RWJBarnabas Health facility, a teaching hospital where students have access to Magnetic 3D’s glasses-free 3D technology for medical research and innovation.
