About Understand.com

Founded in 2003, Understand.com® is a global medical education company that has educated over 10,000,000 patients worldwide. Their unparalleled 3D medical animations are at the core of the patient learning experience. Their content clearly explains complex MOAs, disease pathologies, surgical techniques and procedures, as well as treatment methods for hundreds of medical topics.

Understand.com recognizes the huge gap in communication between doctors and patients. Doctors are frequently overloaded with patients, and may lack the time or skills to effectively communicate the complexity of a medical condition or procedure to their patients. Consultations can leave patients confused, frustrated, and unable to get the information they need to be active participants in their own medical care. Understand.com viewed this challenge as an opportunity to empower doctors and educate patients by providing high-quality, informative patient education content.
