Summary of the project
Digital Twin in Healthcare (DTiH) has been focusing on an educational approach to explore the roles of contemporary engineers in society, particularly emphasizing digital twins and their application in healthcare. This project has been exploring how digital twin as a topic for the User, Society, Enterprise (USE) learning line provides a robust platform for imparting both technical and humanistic skills to undergraduate students. It has been introducing the motivation to use digital twins in healthcare through the three phases of USE (exploration, specialization, and application), with a case example on atrial fibrillation. The educational methodology, along with key alliances and collaboration partners for successful USE development and execution, has been a focal point. Moreover, the project has been actively exploring various activities, scenarios, and learning activities aimed at developing teamwork, leadership, and personal growth among students.
Aim of the project
The DTiH learning line integrates technical and humanistic elements, preparing students as future engineers with strong ethical and societal responsibility. Emphasizing real-life applications, DTiH involves computational models, non-destructive analysis, advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, and machine learning in healthcare. Students will act as critical evaluators, bridging science and society, understanding ethical, sustainability, and economic implications. They will lead research teams, develop therapeutic strategies, advise governments, and communicate technological advances. This student-centered approach focuses on teamwork, leadership, and entrepreneurship, enabling students to translate knowledge into digital twins and explore ethical, entrepreneurial aspects of state-of-the-art technology.
