Jacqui O’Connor is a biomedical engineer and co-founder of a Galway-based start-up that aims to improve healthcare, one 3D model at a time.

The idea of printing 3D models of human body parts for medical use may seem futuristic to some, but one Irish start-up based in Galway has already been pioneering in the area.

MedScan3D, founded by Jacqui O’Connor and James Wall in 2019, develops highly accurate, patient-specific anatomical models from various human body scans. The models are targeted towards healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, oncologists and surgeons.

“Placing real anatomy in the hands of healthcare professionals reduces the patient’s risk and a more successful outcome is likely, with less unexpected issues arising in the theatre setting,” says O’Connor, whom...
