Hi-D Imaging is setting up a Digital Twin Lab at Technopark Winterthur. It will be used for clinical research and the development of medical devices and is intended to reduce both time to market and costs for researchers and manufacturers.
With its new Digital Twin Lab at Technopark Winterthur, Hi-D Imaging offers researchers and manufacturers new resources and opportunities for the development of medical devices. According to a company statement, the platform can be used to create precise digital replicas of physical devices and to test and optimise both existing products and prototypes.
This innovative approach not only speeds up the development process, but is also intended to ensure the highest quality and effectiveness. This reduces the time to market as well as costs. “The integration of digital twin technology facilitates ground-breaking research, supports evidence-based medicine and ultimately improves patient care and outcomes,” says Hi-D Imaging.
According to Hi-D Imaging, 4D haemodynamic analyses can be used to simulate complex numerical models and interactions. The digital twins provide helpful insights into structural heart diseases such as aortic stenosis, endovascular aneurysms, coronary heart disease and cariomyopathy. This is because the platform can be used to extract performance analyses of medical devices, including surgical and mechanical valves, mitral valves, pulmonary valves, stents and catheters. ce/mm
