As smart glasses become increasingly lightweight and suitable for all-day wearables, they show strong potential to serve as the next-generation mobile platforms that provide an AR interface bridging human experience and AI perception. However, a serious concern about its misuse has recently been reported [2] and has attracted public attention: smart glasses can be used…
Digital models and digital twins of human circulatory transport could transform the way cardiovascular and haematological diseases are understood, monitored and treated. Digital twins are dynamic virtual representations of physical systems that continuously assimilate real-world data to simulate and predict system behaviour. However, translating digital twins into clinical practice remains challenging owing to the complexity…
Introduction: Accurate preoperative determination of meningioma grade could substantially enhance surgical planning, yet no reliable noninvasive method currently exists. This study aims to create and externally validate a machine learning model that integrates conventional radiomics with novel fractal and topological metrics to classify WHO meningioma grade from preoperative MRI in a large, multi-institutional cohort with a…
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation presents the HLF Laureate Portraits: Amanda Randles, ACM Prize in Computing 2023.
Amanda Randles reflects on her research, her experience with the award, and what it will take to move ideas from simulation into everyday clinical care.
This Viewpoint critically evaluates the impact of commodifying health data in the era of electronic health records and the ethical challenges this practice raises. Additionally, the Viewpoint explores the complex interplay between the advancement of health-care artificial intelligence (AI) and the imperative for transparency in data practices, scrutinising the insufficiency of existing regulations in addressing…
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a leading cause of limb loss and morbidity worldwide, with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) representing its most severe presentation. Although image-guided endovascular interventions are routinely performed, clinicians currently lack tools that provide real-time, patient-specific predictions of hemodynamic outcomes to guide revascularization decisions. Existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches can recover…
Dr. Shekh Md Mahmudul Islam, Ph.D., from BIG IDEAs Lab has been selected to receive the 2026 Postdoctoral Professional Development Award in support of his proposal to the IEEE International MTT Symposia (IMS) 2026, which will be held in Boston this June.
HPCwire recently sat down with Center Director Amanda Randles to learn what she has been building behind the scenes, from the data and software infrastructure needed to combine wearable health data, medical imaging, and simulation to the practical challenges of running and analyzing vascular digital twins at scale.
