Project description
Building digital twins of human organs
Neurological disorders affect millions worldwide, but accurately simulating the human brain’s complex processes has remained out of reach. In this context, the EU-funded dealii-X project will create an advanced computational platform based on the deal.II library. This platform will leverage exascale computing to build near real-time, highly accurate digital twins of human organs, especially the brain. Through high-performance computing and multiphysics modelling, dealii-X aims to bridge the gap between complex simulations and clinical applications, offering new pathways in personalised medicine. The project promises to enhance diagnosis and treatment strategies, paving the way for breakthroughs in managing neurological diseases.
Objective
"""dealii-X: an Exascale Framework for Digital Twins of the Human Body"" is a pioneering project aimed at developing a scalable, high-performance computational platform using the deal.II library to create accurate digital twins of human organs, with emphasis on the human brain. This framework will leverage exascale computing capabilities and existing lighthouse applications to simulate complex biological processes in real-time, aiding in personalized medicine and advancing the diagnosis and treatment strategies of neurological disorders. The computational complexity to solve the underlying mathematical models has previously prevented the simulation knowledge from being translated into clinical practice. By integrating cutting-edge HPC technologies with multiphysics and multidisciplinary approaches, dealii-X will deliver unprecedented computational efficiency and fidelity in biological modeling. The project represents a significant leap toward the future of medical diagnostics and treatment planning, offering a robust tool for researchers and clinicians alike."
