The power of heart education

Learning for families anywhere

Patients and families can discover heart anatomy and appreciate why heart defects require certain surgeries or medications.

Accurate anatomy

The heart models in our library are created from patient’s medical scans (CT and MRI) and reviewed by clinical experts.

Empowering professionals

Healthcare workers can see patient's hearts in a new way— expanding their understanding of complex heart defects. This improves the quality of care they provide to patients.

The Cardiac Capsule Initiative

The Cardiac Capsule is our newest addition to the 3D Heart Project! The Cardiac Capsule is designed to be a special take-home artifact that helps patients visualize and display their own special heart. When requested, the design team will 3D print the patient's heart and will provide a Cardiac Capsule for the patient. Each Cardiac Capsule features the 3D model, a display light, and includes educational activities, stickers, and a first aid pouch should their heart need a repair.
