Join us for a keynote teaser at Avicenna Days (AAD) 2026
At Avicenna Days 2026, Prof. Oscar Camara, Director of the Engineering School at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), Barcelona, will explore how Virtual Human Twins are moving from long-standing vision to clinical reality.
In his keynote, “From old dreams to current reality in Virtual Human Twins: large-scale in silico trials, drug–device modelling, and the heart-brain axis,”Prof. Camara will take us through the remarkable evolution of Virtual Human Twins—from early pioneering work in projects like euHeart to today’s rapidly maturing clinical applications.
From large-scale in silico trials in ~300 patients undergoing left atrial appendage occlusion, to the coupling of computational fluid dynamics with drug PK/PD models, this keynote showcases how digital patient models are reshaping both MedTech and Pharma.
A major highlight is the emerging computational heart–brain axis, linking cardioembolic and neurovascular modelling into a unified framework for therapy optimization.
This talk offers a forward look at how Virtual Human Twins are becoming a practical tool for truly personalized, system-level medicine—and what still needs to be solved to make them routine in clinical and industrial use.
