Cardiac Rehab Explorer
Patient education · Interactive 3D visualization
AMI Award of Merit, Professional Interactive, 2020
Cardiac Rehab Explorer is an interactive clinical education application designed to help clinicians explain cardiac and arterial anatomy, disease progression, and treatment options to patients. I designed and developed the application from initial Adobe XD concepts through the finished build, with clinical guidance from cardiac rehabilitation specialist Cemal Ozemek.
How it works
Rotate, pan, and zoom into MRI-based 3D models
Toggle internal anatomy
Paint directly on model surfaces
Illustrate interventions such as stent placement
Compare treatment approaches
Access follow-up resources
What it explains
Heart anatomy
Arterial anatomy and plaque
Blood clots
Medication and treatment approaches
Patient calls to action
1. Explore anatomy
Interactive 3D models let users examine external and internal cardiac anatomy from multiple angles.
2. Compare disease states
Side-by-side visualizations help explain how changes such as plaque buildup and arterial stiffness affect cardiovascular anatomy and function.
3. Explain treatment
Animated treatment views illustrate interventions such as stent placement, thrombolysis, and balloon angioplasty step by step.
4. Annotate and guide
Clinicians can draw directly on the models, highlight areas of concern, and connect patients to follow-up education and resources.

The application remains functional on PC and Mac and demonstrates how interactive visualization can support patient education and clinician–patient communication.
