eHuman Digital Anatomy

eHuman, Inc. is headquartered in Fremont, CA. Founded in 2000 by leading Bay Area Endodontists, the company was later joined by Stanford-based Computer Science and Medical Informatics staff, Ph.Ds, MDs and other industry experts. Our labs operate in deep collaboration with, and are co-located within, the Stanford University School of Medicine. eHuman's initial objective was to bring 3-D interactive technologies, software simulators, electronic curricula systems and best-in-class digital libraries of human anatomy to the spatially-complex field of dentistry. Our solutions provide dentistry and medicine what flight simulators and virtual reality afforded the aviation industry—comparable to the digitalization of music, film editing or other once-analog fields. Within four years of its launch, and without the benefit of bona fide operating capital or sales efforts, the company’s first product—the 3-D Interactive Tooth Atlas—became an industry standard. eHuman's Tooth Atlas commands 70% market share among accredited U.S. dental schools and enjoys the annual addition of 4,000 new student, faculty and practitioner users from around the globe. Additional products and services including our Skull Atlas, Annotated Bassett Dissection Atlas, and TMJ Occlusion Atlas have moved the company into broader medical, health care and educational fields. eHuman.com will enable the first “clickable human” with Internet-based navigation features, learning and exploration functions, annotation capabilities and derivative applications akin to Google Earth for the human condition. eHuman integrates stereographic photography, micro-CT and synchrotron scan data, whole-body CT datasets, x-ray imaging and world-class dissection studies to produce a web service and learning platform like no other. Development is ongoing in collaboration with Stanford, the Smithsonian, the Max-Planck Institute and other leading public and private entities around the world.
