The Twin Within: Revolutionizing Healthcare
Discover the potential of Virtual Human Twins! Digital tools are now a crucial part of our everyday lives, playing an essential role in helping us understand and manage our health. You can think of automatic insulin pumps for diabetes or the use of computer models to design personalized knee implants. These tools are often called personalized computer models, patient avatars, or digital twins. In ‘The Twin Within’, we will take you on a journey into building digital twins:
- What technologies are behind them?
- What are the benefits for personalized health and care?
- And what ethical and social issues do they raise?
The event will be in English and is for anyone curious about technology and/in medicine.
Liesbet Geris (Professor of Biomechanics and Computational Tissue Engineering at the University of Liège and KU Leuven) and Davide Montesarchio (Science Communicator at VPH Institute) will lead the interactive session.
This is event is free of charge, but registration is required.
