HRX 2023 Selected Sessions-Digital Twins and Command Stations

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the use of digital twins in cardiology, focusing on creating personalized models for patients' hearts to guide therapy, such as predicting the optimal ablation targets for atrial fibrillation. The panelists emphasize the importance of building credibility for the models and integrating data from wearables for continuous updates. They also discuss the trust and collaboration needed between engineers and clinicians for successful implementation. Patients show interest in these technologies, especially those well-informed about their healthcare, driving engagement and potential widespread adoption. Patient privacy and data ownership are also highlighted, with consent and regulations ensuring ethical use of patient information in these technologies.
