Our research focuses on harnessing the power of digital twins to apply to real-world situations to support revolutionary advances not possible without the application of AI technologies.
A digital twin is a virtual copy of a real-life object, for example, a patient’s body or hospital layout, which are built using computer models. It offers a risk-free setting to test a large number of treatments, with the potential to lead to better real-world treatments or spaces, and improved patient care.
Research in DERI currently focuses on applying digital twin technology to cardiology, including electrophysiology and aortic flow. DERI is also contributing to the Digital Twins for Sustainable Development Goals initiative at Queen Mary.
