Nov 24 / 2025 - Augmented Reality App to Help Understand The Prostate

Here is a quick review of how the INSIGHT Prostate Mobile App is Revolutionizing Cancer Education Through Your Phone

Receiving a prostate cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience, often accompanied by complex medical information that is difficult for patients and their families to grasp. In these critical moments, clarity and understanding are paramount. For too long, patient education has relied on flat diagrams and dense pamphlets. Enter Insight Prostate Mobile App. 

It's an innovative tool designed to empower patients and their families. 

The INSIGHT Prostate app was not created in a vacuum; A survey of healthcare professionals revealed that "doctors want targeted digital tools for patient education that support them in their medical practice." This feedback highlighted a significant gap between the information doctors needed to convey, and the tools they had available to do so effectively.

The result was INSIGHT Prostate, a joint project where ANIMA RES's technological expertise was guided by medical leaders from Bayer and validated by distinguished urologists Prof. Axel Merseburger, Clinic Director for Urology at the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein, and Priv. Doz. Dr. med. Carsten Ziske, Chief Physician Internal Medicine at the GFO Kliniken Troisdorf. The app is a sophisticated educational tool that uses Augmented Reality to bring a detailed anatomical model out of the textbook and into the real world. With a simple mobile device, users can "scan their physical environment and place the three-dimensional prostate" in their own room, allowing for an unprecedented level of exploration.

The app empowers users through several core capabilities, each designed with a specific patient benefit in mind:

Receive guided tours through the app's content, ensuring the experience is easy to follow and not overwhelming.
