ROMed2VR ROMed2VR – Virtual Reality Empowed by Computational Fluid Dynamics Reduced-Order Models to Support Pre-Surgery Medical Planning – is a pioneering initiative focused on advancing pre-surgical planning for congenital heart defects by combining the power of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Virtual Reality (VR). By developing a fast, reliable computational workflow based on […]
SafeBot4Twin SafeBot4Twin is an innovative project that combines cybersecurity and artificial intelligence to enable safe, user-friendly interaction with Medical Digital Twins (MDTs). Developed by RBF Morph and LivGemini within the Cyber 4.0 ecosystem, the project addresses the dual challenge of protecting sensitive patient data and making advanced simulation tools accessible to non-expert users […]
PANDORA PANDORA (Pre-operative Assistant Based on Data-Driven Approaches for Vascular Grafts Surgery) is a business experiment financed by the European project Fortissimo Plus charting a new course for cardiovascular surgery through patient‑specific digital twins of the aorta. Fusing AI‑driven image analysis with high‑fidelity, in‑silico simulations, the project enables surgeons to try different grafts and […]
LESSICE The LESSICE project (Multiscale LES Simulation for In-Flight ICE Accretion Simulation) represents a significant advancement in the computational modeling of ice formation on aircraft surfaces. Led by a consortium that includes the Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali (CIRA), HIT09, and RBF Morph, the project is part of the Spoke 6 initiative within the Sapienza CN1 research program (CUP B83C22002940006). In-flight ice accretion […]
DigiPAD The EU-funded DigiPAD project (Digital Twin for Advanced Design in the Aerospace Industry) represents a transformative effort to enhance the precision and efficiency of preliminary aircraft design. Launched in May 2024, the 15-month initiative was a collaboration between RBF Morph and SmartUp Engineering, two organizations renowned for their expertise in numerical simulation and optimization […]
RIBES A common strategy to model the Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) mechanisms is to couple the fluid dynamic solution, obtained by CFD tools, with structural solvers in an iterative process. The European “RIBES” research project, funded within the 7th framework programme (aeronautics and air transport), was focused on the improvement of the accuracy of CFD-CSM […]
DiTAiD DiTAiD (Digital Twin for Airflow and Drug Delivery in Human Airways) was an experiment. CFD can be used to assess airflow and improve the efficiency of inhaled drug delivery in human lungs. However, presently this requires patient-specific simulations which can be both costly and time-consuming. The objective of the experiment was to reduce […]
Copernicus The Copernicus project (Cloud-Based HPC Platform to Support Systemic-Pulmonary Shunting Procedures) targeted congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Congenital heart diseases account for nearly one-third of all congenital birth defects. Without the ability to alter the prevalence of CHDs, interventions and resources must be focused to improve survival and quality of life. The Modified Blalock Taussig […]
MeDiTATe Project MeDiTATe (The medical digital twin for aneurysm prevention and treatment) aimed to develop state-of-the-art image based medical Digital Twins of cardiovascular districts for a patient-specific prevention and treatment of aneurysms. The Individual Research Projects of the 14 ESRs are defined across five research tracks:(1) High fidelity CAE multi-physics simulation with RBF mesh morphing […]
Spinner The Spinner Project (Next Generation Spine Experts) was a doctoral training programme aimed at Bioengineering early stage researchers, to train bioengineers to be in a position to design the next generation of repair materials and techniques for spine surgery. Spinner brought together partners from the biomaterials (Finceramica), implantable devices (Aesculap), and computational modelling (Ansys, Adagos) […]
