A research project funded by the Cyber\u00a0Valley Research Fund has developed cutting-edge cyber-physical twins of human organs. This breakthrough was facilitated by unrestricted resources and support for scientific research through the contributions of six Cyber\u00a0Valley founding partners: Amazon, BMW, Bosch, IAV, Porsche, and ZF.  <\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Tian Qiu led the project in collaboration with three medical departments at the University Hospitals in T\u00fcbingen and Freiburg. The project team\u00a0successfully created and studied\u00a0six highly realistic organ models, including the kidney, bladder, prostate, liver, vagina, and brain. These models combine the advantages of physical and cyber models to improve the collection\u00a0of hard-to-get biomedical data under realistic conditions for analysis and modeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the physical models, the project team optimized 3D printing and soft material molding techniques to replicate the anatomy and texture of human organs. Additionally, they engineered new hydrogel materials that behave like real soft tissue in surgical procedures. The team also created a brain model comprising composite hydrogel that exhibits life-like mechanical properties and high optical transparency, enabling high-resolution imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s cyber models incorporated sensing technologies such as optical imaging, ultrasound imaging, and electrical sensing. These integrated systems can generate large amounts of data, making possible real-time feedback and quantitative evaluation of surgical outcomes. The project also leveraged Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance medical training. Medics participated in initial trials by applying the new cyber-physical organ models to optimize surgical instruments and digital surgical training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cyber\u00a0Valley Research Fund has allocated five million euros to promote innovation and scientific excellence. Research groups were encouraged to submit project proposals that\u00a0were\u00a0evaluated according to ethical and societal considerations. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
