Unlocking Potential: The Role of HPC in Computational Medicine
SessionBiomedical Applications
DescriptionThe utilization of vascular digital twins has gained significant traction in the field of medicine, holding immense potential for transforming healthcare practices. These advanced models enable the creation of patient-specific replicas of vascular systems, facilitating precise measurements of blood flow conditions. Vascular digital twins provide a non-invasive solution for assessing stenosis severity, guiding treatment decisions, and optimizing surgical planning. Medical professionals can enhance their expertise and refine approaches with precision and confidence by performing virtual surgery and evaluating interventions beforehand. However, the development and deployment of vascular digital twins pose notable challenges, particularly in terms of data size, time-to-solution, and computational cost. Constructing a realistic model of human blood flow entails complex mathematical and computational tasks, incorporating fluid dynamics, intricate vessel geometry, pulse-driven flow and pressure changes, and the behavior of red blood cells. Furthermore, the seamless integration of personalized models with streaming wearable data for holistic patient views and virtual reality interfaces for intuitive interaction by clinicians and researchers presents additional hurdles. In this presentation, I will discuss the role of high performance computing in advancing the fidelity and use of personalized computational models.
