Virtual organ twins allow surgeons to practice complex procedures before operating

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Living Heart Project, launched in 2014, has developed virtual twin technology that creates dynamic digital replicas of patients' hearts from medical scans. This allows surgeons to virtually practice complex procedures, leading to improved outcomes and reduced uncertainty. Boston Children's Hospital has successfully used this technology for nearly 2,000 procedures since 2019, demonstrating its transformative impact on cardiac surgery. AI
