Developing a digital twin of the heart

Tommaso Mansi and team are researching to help those with a sick heart get better. Using DigitalTwin technology they simulate the best possible way to treat heart failure patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Refer to the inventors of resynchronization please!!

hello,
My question is : How data is collected in real time to update the DT ?

Hi Fatma Zahra, Thank you for reaching out .The data for the digital twin of the heart that you see in Tommaso's video is no real-time processed data. In this specific research case, the digital twin is intended to simulate the patient specific reaction for a resynchronization therapy option before the actual therapy. Therefore, all relevant data needed for the simulation is collected upfront, and later on processed by the AI-supported algorithm and visualized. However, we apply the concept of patient specific digital twins that use real-time data to support physicians in operating rooms, e.g. for catheter guidance for aortic repair.
