TITLE: Digital patient twins and model-based medicine

Thomas Neumuth, Technical Director of the Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery (ICCAS), University of Leipzig

ABSTRACT
Modern medicine is no longer conceivable without the use of technology. Medicine, information management, and biomedical technology are converging at an increasing rate. This development requires integrating medical device functions with advanced medical information systems to increase personalized therapeutic efficacy, treatment precision, and treatment speed. The approach of model-based diagnostics and therapy is based on digital patient twins and enables patient-specific personalized treatment and the development of smart and situation-adaptive medical technology. The talk introduces the topic of model-based therapy and presents current smart and situation-adaptive medical technologies.
