Visual Search with 3D from GE
June 25, 2011
A new Google search technology could change the way people use the Internet. According to the Search Engine Watch article “Visual Health Search” Google recently launched its Google Body Browser.
Users have the ability to view a 3D layered model of the body. The article asserted:
“The body can be turned, manipulated, and literally “dissected” down to the vascular level to see how its functions work and connect. This kind of detailed information gives users access to the human body that’s never been available before and goes a long way in promoting a level of understanding that can help people make better informed decisions about their health.”
Healthline Networks in conjunction with GE Healthymagination and Visible Productions have also introduced Healthline BodyMaps. We learned:
“This new tool layers search on top of a 3D anatomical model, and allows people to navigate male and female anatomy, view systems, and organs and explore how the body works.”
Not only can patients get a more in depth look and understanding of medical conditions but physicians and other health care providers will be able to use it to help explain medical conditions, procedures and etc. to patients. Visual Search and 3D could be the new dream team.
A couple of thoughts. Google seems to have terminated its electronic medical record project. And didn’t GE design the Fukushima nuclear facility? Visual search might be less challenging and have a higher upside.
