This research develops patient-specific digital twins of the heart to improve radiofrequency ablation for cardiac arrhythmias. By simulating heat transfer, tissue damage, and electrical activity, these computational models could improve treatment accuracy, reduce repeat procedures, accelerate medical device development, and advance the future of personalised cardiovascular medicine.

Body motion during radiotherapy can misalign radiation delivery, risking tumor underdosing and healthy tissue damage. This research introduces real-time dose calculation software that tracks motion during treatment, enabling immediate corrections. Clinical testing shows one in five treatments benefit from adjustment, significantly improving radiotherapy safety and effectiveness.
