Adelaide de Vecchi: “Hansel & Gretel’s Temptation”: Clinical Translations and Science in Cardiovascular Modeling

Talk Summary: Scientists continue to favor grant-funded research activities oriented toward technological development rather than its deployment in the real-world. This comes at the expense of talking with stake-holders, communicating research and providing usable solutions. Imaging and cardiovascular simulation has had major advances but too often research remains in academic publication and within the lab, never to be disseminated to the general public or other key stakeholders. In this talk, in addition to advances in cardiovascular simulations and modeling – important for any clinical application –  I will address wide-broad questions related to research, such as:  How do we highlight cases of successful translation? How can we better engage with patient groups and account for patient experience in our research? Is it possible to better communicate our ideas?  Or, how to choose topics that are highly translational with prospects of dissemination?
