Atomedge has won the Trickstar Business Award for Best Innovative and Groundbreaking Business Model. The win comes down to the company’s unusual setup: Atomedge doesn’t build software, it builds the medically accurate 3D anatomy that goes inside other people’s software. Developers, universities, and EdTech firms licence the models for their own platforms, simulators, and AR or VR apps. More anatomical regions and support for newer immersive platforms are coming.

Cape Town, South Africa – Atomedge has been awarded the Trickstar Business Award for Best Innovative and Groundbreaking Business Model. The award recognises the company’s approach to supplying anatomically accurate 3D content to the medical education and healthcare technology sectors.

The Trickstar Award goes to businesses with distinctive models and a clear long-term direction. Atomedge won it for its work licensing detailed anatomical assets to organisations building medical education tools, simulation software, and AR and VR healthcare applications.

What Atomedge does is fairly unusual. Most software companies build software. Atomedge builds the 3D anatomy model that goes inside it. The models are licensed and dropped directly into educational platforms, simulators, and other interactive learning tools, which means developers, universities, and EdTech teams can skip the expensive process of producing anatomical content from scratch.

Medical schools and EdTech firms have been steadily moving into AR and VR, and accurate anatomy is usually the bottleneck. Building a single high-fidelity model can take months. Atomedge supplies the models so the software teams can focus on the platform.

“This award reflects the long view we’ve taken,” said a representative from Atomedge. “Developers shouldn’t have to become anatomy experts to build a medical app. We give them ready-to-use 3D anatomy and let them get on with the actual product.”

Atomedge models are currently used in university teaching, digital publishing, AR and VR applications, and simulation training. The company is expanding the library to cover more anatomical regions and to support newer immersive platforms.

Next on the roadmap is more content and continued work with organisations building medical training and healthcare education tools.
