Duke's digital twin technology could take hemodynamic assessments to a whole other level

Researchers at Duke are hard at work on digital twins that could help care teams make important treatment decisions. 

READ MORE >
Video: Amanda Randles, PhD, director of the Duke Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation, and professor of biomedical engineering, explains how her lab created a digital twin technology that can take patient imaging and data to recreate a digital model of the patient's coronary blood flow. The computational platform called HARVEY can simulate a patient's hemodynamics so accurately, it may eliminate the need for invasive coronary FFR pressure wires to diagnose heart disease.

Surgeon hails new CABG technology as a 'technical breakthrough'

The new-look ELANA device from AMT Medical could simplify CABG procedures and help improve patient access to minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques.

READ MORE >
Distal anastomoses are almost exclusively hand-sewn as a current standard of care, which limits the widespread implementation of less-invasive approaches. This trial looked at the ability of the ELANA device to more easily construct distal anastomoses in CABG.
