Mapping populations to patients: designing optimal ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation through simulation and deep learning of digital twin

Funding source: UKRI Medical Research Council
Start: 01-11-2022  /  End: 31-10-2026
Amount: £1,224,259

We will combine biophysical simulation and deep learning methods with a longitudinal digital twin approach to optimise risk prediction and choice of therapy for atrial fibrillation. We aim to move predictions from the acute response to the long-term response; from the average patient to an individual patient; from standard treatments to any treatment approach; from small patient cohorts to large virtual trials; and from long simulation times to short clinical timescales.

Development and Validation of Smartphone-Based Tools for Characterisation of Gait

This project aims to develop and validate smartphone-based tools for characterising gait. By utilizing the sensors and capabilities of modern smartphones, the project seeks to provide accessible, accurate, and cost-effective solutions for gait analysis, benefiting both healthcare providers and researchers in diagnosing and monitoring gait-related conditions.
