InfuseMed Turns 20 Years of Medical Animation into Immersive Training

The Salt Lake City medical education company, whose 3D fetal development animation has passed 20 million YouTube views, is rolling nearly 2 decades of visualization work into a SEE, TRY, DO methodology, from expert demonstration to hands-on repetition across XR, VR, 3D visualization and simulation.

InfuseMed, the Salt Lake City medical education and immersive learning company whose 3D fetal development animation has been viewed more than 20 million times on YouTube, has formalized nearly two decades of medical animation and visualization work into a training methodology it calls SEE → TRY → DO. The approach draws on XR and VR, immersive environments, 3D medical visualization, simulation, interactive learning and video, and now drives the company’s custom training for health care and life sciences organizations as well as its own platforms and products.

The methodology moves a learner from expert demonstration and contextual understanding to interaction, repetition and, eventually, application. InfuseMed describes it as an apprenticeship model rebuilt with new tools: watch an expert, practice with guidance, repeat, then do it for real, without being limited by geography, scheduling or one-time access to an expert.

“The biggest change has been the move toward more engaging, interactive learning, along with much higher expectations for measurable outcomes,” said InfuseMed CEO Steve Deverall. “It used to be enough to show that someone completed the training. Now, we need to demonstrate retention, proficiency and real-world impact. That matters because if we are asking organizations to invest in more immersive tools, we also need to prove that the learning works and delivers a meaningful return.”

The fetal development animation is the company’s most visible piece of work, and a very different one from clinical training. InfuseMed sees the two as the same job: turning complex medical information into something a viewer can follow, understand and remember.

Here’s the fetal development animation:

“Over nearly 20 years, we have explored and mastered almost every medium used in medical education,” Deverall said. “What excites me now is bringing all of that experience and intellectual property together to build tools, platforms and products that can fundamentally change how people learn.”

“It is really an old-school-meets-new-school approach, combining the power of apprenticeship and learning by doing with the very best immersive technology,” he said. “We are orchestrating everything we have learned into a methodology that can be replicated across almost any training need, and we are already seeing incredible results.”

InfuseMed says it is expanding the approach across medical education, clinical training and product education, with more emphasis on interaction, repetition and measurable learner outcomes.
