Digital Twins in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Organizers:

Ning Wei (Purdue University )

Description:

In recent years, the advent of digital twin technology has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, particularly in the field of cardiac electrophysiology. This minisymposium aims to explore the current advancements, applications, and challenges associated with the implementation of digital twins in understanding cardiac electrophysiology and treating cardiac arrhythmias. We will bring together leading experts in the field who will present cutting-edge research on creating patient-specific digital models that simulate cardiac function and behavior. Topics will include the integration of real-time patient data, the calibration of models, and the implications for precision medicine in arrhythmia management. Furthermore, discussions will address the technical challenges faced in developing functional digital twins and the strategies for overcoming these hurdles. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in interactive discussions, fostering collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and technologists. By illuminating the potential benefits of digital twins for personalized treatment plans, this symposium will serve as a crucial platform for generating innovative ideas and approaches to enhance patient care. We envisage that this gathering will not only advance scientific knowledge but also inspire collaborative research efforts that can lead to improved clinical outcomes in cardiac electrophysiology.
