3D Avatar to Display Human Health Record

My brother sent me a link to an article about IBM’s Anatomic and Symbolic Mapper Engine.

The Anatomic and Symbolic Mapper Engine (ASME) provides an interactive 3D model of the human body that displays health information at a glance so doctors can visualize the medical histories of their patients and thereby improve care. With a click of the mouse a doctor can view a particular part of the avatar “body” to trigger a search of medical records and retrieve relevant information.
