Cardiac Digital Twins: Inside The Research Lab
cxotalk.com, Saturday, December 6th, 2025
What if doctors could test heart treatments on a computational replica of your cardiovascular system before touching you?
In episode 902, we go inside NTT Research's Medical & Health Informatics Lab to explore the science of cardiac digital twins: personalized software models that simulate how individual patients respond to drugs and therapies.
Lab Director Joe Alexander, an M.D. cardiologist and Ph.D. biomedical engineer, explains how his team is building toward autonomous systems that could one day deliver heart failure treatment without human intervention.
