Personalised 3D-printed models of patients' hearts can be used to plan surgery
London-based design studio Cellule has devised a system for creating personalised digital and 3D-printed models of hearts, which can be used to help doctors plan surgery for transplant patients.
Initiated in September 2017, Big Heart Data explores the role of 3D printing and parametric modelisation in heart surgery, and its potential to create a customisable and personal healthcare system for individual patients.
By harnessing recent innovations in imaging and modelisation technologies, researchers and doctors can now see computational models and hold and 3D-printed models of their patients' unique and individual hearts.
In turn these models can be used to help develop new and personalised treatments for people with heart failure.
The Big Heart Data project creates digital and 3D-printed models of hearts The speculative project is the result of a collaboration between Pablo Lamata from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at King's College London and designer Salomé Bazin who runs creative design studio Cellule.
"The project is based on our ongoing interest in cardiology, 3D printing and the changes we could foresee in a future healthcare system,"Â Bazin told Dezeen.
"For the first time, we are able to use computer models to predict how effective different treatments will be, and new MRI techniques are being used to create 3D-printed anatomically correct models of individual patient's hearts for preoperative planning," she continued.
