Digital Twins for Healthcare and Biomedical Industry Applications

The concept of digital twins combined with engineering simulation is an exciting framework for professionals working to improve medical devices in biomedicine. A digital twin acts as a virtual representation or digital replica of a physical object, system, processes which can include parts of the human body. Digital twins can be applied to medical devices to replicate the physical structures and functionality of medical devices, monitor their real time performance, and simulate and test the performance of medical devices under various conditions.

Join us on 3 October as we bring together distinguished speakers to discuss how they are using state-of-the-art engineering simulation technology to help realise digital twins within the healthcare and biomedical industries. Speakers and examples presented will be from both industry and academia, including Prof. David Fletcher from University of Sydney and LEAP Australia, Associate Professor Kiao Inthavong from RMIT University along with representatives from Leica Biosystems and Invetech. Applications discussed will include patient-specific modelling of aneurysms, arterial grafts, heart valves, nasal/respiratory pathways and inhalers/drug delivery, as well as general use of simulation in the design & development of a range of medical devices.
