MS005 - Data-driven models and digital twins: enhancing decision-making in biomedicine

Organized by: M. Aguirre (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) and E. Soudah (CIMNE, Spain)
Keywords: biomedicine, cardiovascular modelling, data-driven modellling, diagnostics, digital twin, medical devices
In the last years, the combined use of data-driven techniques and computational mechanics models has led to a plethora of techniques to be used as decision-support tools in biomedicine. Examples include image-based prediction of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) in cardiac patients [1], surgical planning of endovascular interventions or forecast of cancer progression via magnetic resonance imaging [2]. However, bringing these tools to clinical practice presents significant challenges, requiring efforts at multiple levels: basic research (modelling highly complex physics, developing precise and fast surrogates, ensuring robustness), applied research (modelling complex real-life scenarios, in lab validation, extensive exchange with clinicians) and final technology development and implementation with large scale clinical studies.

This mini-symposium aims to present the latest advancements in any of the stages mentioned above. We invite talks on the following topics:

  • Development of image pre-processing techniques for computational modelling in biomedical applications.
  • Non-intrusive reduced order modelling and machine learning techniques for fast decision making in medicine.
  • Experimental and/or clinical validation of digital twins / data-driven decision support systems for biomedicine.
  • Use cases in medical devices, cardiovascular system, cancer treatment, traumatology, ophthalmology, respiratory system?, among others.
