KSU researcher harnessing digital twin technology to improve heart care – Kennes

“Digital Twin Technology Revolutionizes Heart Healthcare at KSU”

Underlining the importance of tech advancements in healthcare, a researcher at Kennesaw State University (KSU) is focusing on the use of digital twin technology to enhance cardiac treatment. The research started in the middle of 2019 at KSU’s Healthcare Information Technology Research Lab.

The project leverages digital twin technology, a virtual duplicate of a patient’s heart, to predict potential heart issues before they materialize. The technology’s use can aid in more accurate diagnoses, tailored treatment plans, and improved patient outcomes. The impact of this technology could revolutionize the healthcare industry, particularly in heart care.

KSU’s research in digital twin technology is a significant advancement in the integration of healthcare and technology. The research, which is still ongoing, aims to develop a comprehensive model of the human heart. According to the researchers, the digital twin could eventually predict heart attacks before they occur, a major step forward in preventive healthcare.
