The winner of the JTC2022 video competition is the team of young researchers of the DAWN-AF consortium with the video ‘Digital Twins to Treat Atrial Fibrillation’.
As part of the award, Tomás Banduc from the Millennium Institute for Intelligent Healthcare Engineering (iHEALTH, Chile), representative of the team, will attend the first EP PerMed Implementation School in Zaragoza (Spain), with costs covered by EP PerMed. The winning video will also be presented and formally awarded during the JTC2022 Midterm Seminar, which will take place in Paris, France, on February 3–4, 2026.
The DAWN-AF project develops digital cardiac twins – virtual replicas of patients’ hearts – to design patient-specific ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation. By combining advanced imaging, AI-based modelling, and clinical data, the project aims to improve treatment precision, shorten recovery time, and make personalised therapies more accessible for patients worldwide.
Through the “The Story Behind Our Personalised Medicine Research Project” initiative, EP PerMed encourages young researchers from ERA PerMed and EP PerMed funded projects to communicate their work in personalised medicine in a creative and accessible way. The competition serves as a platform to highlight the role of early-career researchers and to foster greater visibility and collaboration across consortia.
