The MeDiTATe project at the 33rd Annual Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT) Conference
The Consortium is proud to announce that the MeDiTATe project will participate in the 33rd Annual Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT) Conference (May 30-31, Oslo, Norway).
Early Stage Researcher 11, Monica Emendi, will be presenting the work entitled “Electromagnetic tracking-based estimation of target landmarks in abdominal aorta during endovascular aneurysm repair”. In this study, the feasibility of using electromagnetic (EM) tracking data for image registration during EVAR has been explored. As an alternative to fluoroscopy, EM sensors embedded in the tip of the catheters have been considered for navigation purposes. The possibility to use EM data to infer the intra-operative aortic deformations has been studied experimentally using patient-specific 3D printed models.
Congratulations, Monica!!!
A school on CAE techniques and medical applications
A 4-days school was organized by ARMINES and was held at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome from September 28th to October 1st. All the Early Stage Researchers of the Meditate project could participate and learn more about the Computer Aided Engineering techniques, tools and advancements in the field:
- Introduction to Radial Basis Functions
- Introduction to Meta-materials and auxetics
- Introduction to blood flow modeling
- Blood flow model personalization from MRI data
- The long way towards the aortic Digital Twin
- Introduction to the design methodology of products and application to medical devices
- Advanced isogeometric simulations with a special focus on biomedical application
- Models, data and Digital Twins in advanced bioengineering
- Digital and printed models for medical device engineering: sample applications
See you soon!
A meeting to discuss the progress of the Early Stage Researchers
On March 26th our Early Stage Researchers and their Supervisors met in an online meeting. Each Fellow gave an overview about the situation of the own Individual Research Project:
- Personal situation update: date of enrolment, project schedule, actual premise, hosting and secondment plan.
- Project overview: description and connections with the other Individual Research Projects.
- Technical updates: about the progress in the activities.
- Next steps: to share with the other Fellows the planning.
See you soon!
Early Stage Researchers joined a webinair hosted by VascAgeNet
On March 23rd our Early Stage Researchers had the chance to attend a webinar hosted by Dr Elisabetta Bianchini, the Vice-Chair of VascAgeNet. The full webinar, “VascAgeNet Webinar 7: Medical Devices Regulation”, can be found on the VascAgeNet YouTube Channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-uhcPxFhj8

Training the Early Stage Researchers on Project Management
On the 11th of March all the Early Stage Researchers attended a course to acquire the fundamentals of Project Management in the Framework of European Funded Projects. This online and interactive class was hosted by Margherita Cioffi, a member of RINA Consulting, one of the Beneficiaries of the MeDiTATe project.
See you soon!
All the Early Stage Researchers enrolled and at work
The Consortium is proud to announce that all the 14 Early Stage Researchers have been selected, enrolled and started their respective Individual Research Projects.
Soon it will be possible to know more about each one of them.
See you soon!
The first year of the MeDiTATe Project
The MeDiTATe project is grown one year older: on January 31st, 2020, the kick-off meeting of the project took place in Rome, at the University of Tor Vergata.
Despite the COVID-19 situation, as you can read in the “News & Events” section, The MeDiTATe project moves forward to its goals. In fact, it was a very intense first year of project, with some very important novelties, such as new Partners who joined the Consortium.
Hopefully next months the situation will improve, and the Consortium will be able to meet in person once again. In the meanwhile, some pics of the kick-off meeting.
See you soon!
Members of the MeDiTATe project on Journal
University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, RBF Morph, RINA Consulting and Fondazione Toscana G. Monasterio recently published an article, “Fast interactive CFD evaluation of hemodynamics assisted by RBF mesh morphing and reduced order models: the case of aTAA modelling”, on the International Journal on Interactive Design and Manufacturing.
