Have you met your digital twin?
You can be introduced to this digital twin during a free webinar organised by Avicenna Member the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). During the webinar, Marc Horner (Ph.D., Technical Lead, Healthcare at ANSYS, Inc.) will explain this concept and highlight the role of computational modelling in healthcare. Dr. Horner will discuss how concepts such as the internet of things have led to an exponential growth of data. Combined with physiological models, this data can be used to optimise patient treatment. Digital twins can also be used to assess and improve products and to make production processes more efficient.
