From jet engines to heartbeats: Engineering the future of healthcare
Description
In this episode of BioPhorum Connect, host Loic Bishop speaks with Dr. Steven Levine, Senior Director of Life Sciences and Healthcare at Dassault Systèmes and Executive Director of the Living Heart Project. They explore how engineering principles and digital twin technology are reshaping the future of medicine—from personalised treatment planning to regulatory-grade simulations.
Steven shares his personal journey, including how his daughter's congenital heart condition and a brain tumour has inspired him to pioneer a new approach to medical modelling. Learn how the Living Heart Project grew from a bold idea into a global collaboration involving over 165 organisations, and how it’s now influencing how we run clinical trials, regulatory processes, and the development of digital organs.
Topics include:
- The origins and impact of the Living Heart Project
- Building a fully functioning digital heart
