Inspiring Hope
Simulia, is a division of Dassault Systèmes that makes accurate, realistic
simulation an integral business practice to improve product performance and
reduce the number of required physical prototypes.
Ghost Productions is a 3D medical animation studio that specializes in surgeon and
patient education. Realizing that new medical breakthroughs are made every day,
Ghost Productions uses a wide array of expertise and technology to
transform medical discoveries into a breath-taking visual experience.
Ghost Productions has recently partnered with Simulia in a new project that explains to cardiologists how running extremely precise simulations on their patient's hearts can contribute to significantly better diagnostics.
The Living Heart project, launched in January 2014, is a transnational research initiative to
revolutionize cardiovascular science through realistic simulation.
The simulation
gives doctors the ability to explore various treatment possibilities with each
patient's specific condition and physiology and this is likely to cause a
dramatic improvement in how doctors diagnose and treat their patients. They'll
know exactly where to place pacemaker leads and potentially other treatment
options for the best result for each patient.
The project
gathers leading cardiovascular experts and educators with medical device
manufacturers to develop and validate personalized digital human heart models. The
aim is to accelerate the synthesis of multidisciplinary knowledge to provide
personalized, interventional cardiac-patient care.
Conveying The Message And “Inspiring
Hope”
Ghost Productions conveyed this message by means of a 3D Character Animation that explains
Simulia's vision: Inspiring Hope.
The goal
for Inspiring Hope is to inspire thought leadership and help doctors
realize how valuable individualized 3D models and accurate simulations could work
in treating life-threatening conditions.
