R&D Engagement and Science Communication

Working towards an accessible, diverse, and innovative research and development landscape: the Institute's scientists foster an understanding of how digital medicine and related STEM disciplines influence healthcare. They develop interactive, aestheticized exhibits and demonstrators, and experiential projects, involving artistic practices at the intersection of science, art, and technological development. The aim is to stimulate critical dialog and ownership of new technologies, involve new participants, and cultivate a diverse R&D landscape. Citizens and experts from science and the arts are invited to participate on an equal footing and to learn from each other.

      This short movie shows the dynamic reconstruction of the blood flow of a healthy human heart. New imaging methods for flow visualizations as shown are integrated into software assistants to help doctors determine how the blood flow changes due to heart diseases without using a catheter. They help calculate how the blood pressure and shear forces on the wall of the blood vessels change for patients with heart valve problems. Additional patient-specific numerical flow simulations could help estimate the benefits provided by a new heart valve before an intervention.
