\n

Did you know that nearly 40% of spinal surgeries require revision within two years? This is often due to the complexity of this type of surgeries but also due to the lack of predictive tools to help healthcare providers plan the best surgery for each patient. With an ageing population and increasing cases of spinal deformities and degenerative conditions, the need for better planning is more urgent than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tackle this challenge, the University of Luxembourg has teamed up with MDsim S.A., a company that uses the power of AI to create digital twins, simulate biomechanics for spinal surgeries. This summer, Dominique Nicoli began her industrial PhD fellowship between MDsim and the University, to enrich an AI-powered biomechanical digital twin with advanced muscle models. A successful outcome would significantly assist spine surgeons in planning procedures and predicting outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m deeply excited to be working at the intersection of cutting-edge research, engineering, and healthcare<\/em>,\u201d Dominique shares. She will be supervised jointly by Prof. St\u00e9phane Bordas<\/a> and MDsim\u2019s Head of R&D Laurent Adam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her research notably focuses on integrating a more detailed representation of the paraspinal muscles into MDsim\u2019s spine model. \u201cWe are trying to identify accurate predictors of spine surgery outcomes. I am focusing specifically on the role of muscles<\/em>,\u201d Dominique explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nEngineering hope <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Previously, Dominique worked at the Voisin Consulting Life Sciences incubator in Paris and was eager to join a startup. In particular one in which she can apply her passion for about innovation and healthcare.. \u201cContributing to something that can directly improve patient outcomes is exactly what I envisioned when I chose to specialise in biomedical engineering<\/em>,\u201d she says. \u201cI’ve always wanted to work with people and, more importantly, for people\u2014this project allows me to do just that.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nFrom innovation to impact <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MDsim is developing advanced software that uses patient-specific digital twins to simulate spinal biomechanics. This enables surgeons to optimise surgical strategies before operating. \u201cWe create models and train AI to better plan surgeries<\/em>,” says Dominique. \u201cUltimately, it will be used in hospitals as part of the preoperative planning process, helping improve outcomes and reduce the rate of revision surgeries.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Bordas, also a scientific advisor to MDsim, helped initiate the collaboration. \u201cI am excited about the opportunities offered by this project to help develop a clinically usable tool for spinal surgery simulation,<\/em>\u201d he says. \u201cI expect the technical solutions we develop to be portable to other surgical simulation applications.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurent Adam shares: \u201cWe aim at developing technologies that go beyond the state-of-the-art. Being based in Belval and knowing St\u00e9phane Bordas\u2019s work for over 15 years, it was quite natural to set up this collaboration. The ultimate aim is to deliver more personalised, higher-quality care and reduce the need for revision surgeries.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nA strategic partnership <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The collaboration allows MDsim to access scientific expertise – which helps it accelerate product development \u2013 while leading the University to conduct applied research that will have an impact on real-world challenges in the healthcare system. A public-private research project is also a valuable opportunity for doctoral candidates, such as Dominique, to discover two worlds \u2013 academic and industrial \u2013 opening her career perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University\u2019s Partnership, Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office<\/em> (PaKTTO) supports the development of public-private partnerships. As explains Sarah Le Guenic, Knowledge & Technology Transfer Officer: \u201cOur team facilitates communication and mutual understanding between research teams and external partners, helping to align expectations and define shared objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaKTTO<\/a> also ensures a secure framework through a collaboration agreement covering in particular publication rights, confidentiality management, and intellectual property protection to prepare the exploitation of the Project\u2019s results by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nWhat\u2019s Next for DISRUPT? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would love to continue growing with MDsim and support its development into a major player in surgical planning,<\/em>\u201d Dominique concludes. \u201cSeeing our tool in clinical use would be an incredibly meaningful achievement. I\u2019m also excited about the potential for new partnerships and innovations that could stem from this work<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
