For more than 10 years, Swarm Interactive has been setting the standard for internet-based patient education. Today's powerful ViewMedica patient education system results from years of working with doctors in many fields of medicine.

1998
Swarm Interactive begins publishing interactive patient education animations -- primarily for orthopedic surgeons. Before then, patient education on the internet consisted of static images and text. Swarm's pioneering work was well accepted by medical practices around the world, and soon grew to a library of dozens of animations.

2000
Swarm Interactive begins publishing animations in a new technology called Flash. The Flash format, now the standard for internet animation and interactivity, improves the visual quality of the animations.

2003 
Swarm Interactive develops an interactive viewer, a small Flash-based application that manages our growing library of animations. The viewer makes installation of the animations easier for our medical clients and allows for seamless upgrades and improvements.

2004
Much of the Swarm animation library is published in Spanish. A special German library is also created.

2005
Improvements are made to the viewer which is now named the ViewMedica viewer. The ViewMedica library of animations grows to more than 100.

2006
ViewMedica animations support voice-over narration. To preserve the low-filesize of our animations, Swarm Interactive engineers a dual-path method for viewers to select either with or without narration. 

2008
ViewMedica now supports more than 400 animations covering orthopedic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, ophthalmological, pain management and other medical areas.

2009
Version 5.0 of the ViewMedica viewer is released. The upgrade represents many changes and improvements meant to make using the system of more than 500 animations easier for the patient and administering the system easier for the medical practice.

2010
Version 5.2 of the ViewMedica viewer allows for display of the patient education content on iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices. The library grows to more than 600 animations.
