For decades, the medical exam room has remained largely unchanged. Flat, grayscale scans. Complex terminology. Patients nodding politely, often leaving with more questions than clarity.

At CES® 2026, Avatar Medical offered a compelling glimpse into how that experience is about to change.

Introducing the Clinic of the Future, a patient-facing care environment powered by Eonis Vision®, a glasses-free 3D medical imaging solution developed by Avatar Medical in collaboration with Barco and powered by Dell and NVIDIA technologies. Recognized as a CES Innovation Awards® 2026 Honoree in the Digital Healthcare category, Eonis Vision marks a turning point in how medical information is shared, understood, and experienced.

From Medical Imaging to Medical Understanding

Modern medicine produces extraordinary images—CT scans, MRIs, and advanced diagnostics—but for most patients, these images remain difficult to interpret. The result is a communication gap that can fuel anxiety, confusion, and delayed decision-making.

Eonis Vision addresses this challenge by transforming traditional scans into natural, intuitive 3D visualizations, viewable without goggles, headsets, or virtual reality equipment. Patients and clinicians can stand together in front of a medical-grade display and explore anatomy in depth—literally.

As Elodie Litzler, PhD, Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer of Avatar Medical, explains, the goal isn’t more technology in the exam room—it’s clarity.

When patients can see their condition the same way their doctor does, conversations change. Fear gives way to understanding. Confusion becomes confidence. Care becomes a partnership.

Why This Matters Now

Health literacy remains a major challenge. According to the CDC, nearly 9 out of 10 U.S. adults struggle to understand routine health information when it’s presented in technical or unfamiliar ways. Research from the Milken Institute further links limited understanding to missed follow-ups, delayed care, and poorer long-term outcomes.

The Clinic of the Future directly addresses this gap by making medical information visual, intuitive, and human.

Rather than translating complex images into words, clinicians can now let patients see for themselves—reducing time spent explaining and increasing trust, engagement, and shared decision-making.

A Shift Clinicians Are Already Seeing

For physicians, the impact is immediate.

According to Dr. Michael Ivan, Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami Health System, tools like Eonis Vision fundamentally shift the dynamic of the exam room. Instead of discussing a flat, abstract image, clinicians and patients explore a shared, three-dimensional understanding of the condition.

That shared perspective reduces fear, strengthens trust, and helps patients move forward with greater confidence—especially in high-stakes specialties like neurosurgery.

Technology That Feels Familiar

While the technology behind Eonis Vision is sophisticated—combining Avatar Medical’s FDA-cleared imaging software, Barco’s medical-grade 3D displays, Dell high-performance workstations, and NVIDIA acceleration—the experience itself feels instantly familiar.

Visitors at Avatar Medical’s CES booth watch CT and MRI scans transform into depth-rich anatomy that feels less like an image on a screen and more like an object placed directly in front of them.

It’s a moment many compare to past technology shifts that simply made sense: the move to color television, the first smartphone, or the DVR. This is consumer-grade intuitiveness meeting clinical-grade precision.

A Glimpse of What’s Next

The Clinic of the Future isn’t about replacing clinicians—it’s about empowering them. Doctors gain a tool that simplifies communication and enhances workflow. Patients leave appointments with real understanding instead of uncertainty.

With Eonis Vision expected to be commercially available following FDA clearance in Q2 2026, Avatar Medical is helping redefine what modern care can look like across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Because when patients can truly see, understanding follows—and understanding changes everything.

Seeing is healing.
