The workshop will be held in the afternoon of Tuesday, June 11^th.  It will be a part of the regular program of the SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences, taking place in Portland, Oregon, June 10-13, 2024. Participants are required to register for the SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences, a one-day registration will be available.

Featuring Dr. Luis Sordo Vieira: “We know so little about mental health disorders and psychiatry as a whole, and yet we have all these large databases coming out,” Sordo Vieira says. “How do we best leverage them to better understand psychiatric disorders?”

Digital twin technology for health applications is still in its infancy, and extensive research and development is required. This article focuses on several projects in different stages of development that can lead to specific—and practical–medical digital twins or digital twin modeling platforms.

Medical digital twins are computational models of human biology relevant to a given medical condition, which are tailored to an individual patient, thereby predicting the course of disease and individualized treatments, an important goal of personalized medicine. The immune system, which has a central role in many diseases, is highly heterogeneous between individuals, and thus poses a major challenge for this technology. In February 2023, an international group of experts convened for two days to discuss these challenges related to immune digital twins.

Topological modeling and simulation lend insight into the structure, development, function, and resilience of glomerular capillary networks.

In this project, we demonstrate how topological data analysis can be used to visualize, explore, and characterize large and complex biomedical data such as electronic health records.

This study will identify risk-factors for developing troublesome hoarding by integrating and analyzing clinical interviews and a web-based registry of adults that includes various medical and cognitive questionnaires and neurocognitive.
