Chapter 539 Digital Human Project

After sending Professor Liang away, Yang Ping returned to the hospital, sorted out the information, and took the patient's room to send it all.

Huang Jiacai was already waiting downstairs, and they were going to the digital medicine laboratory of Nandu Medical University.

The lab has been working on the "digital human" project, but it was difficult to continue the research due to financial constraints.

Huang Jiacai took the initiative to find Professor He Jirong, the head of the laboratory, and proposed to establish a cooperation, with Ruixing providing continuous research funds.

At that time, Professor He was very skeptical that "digital humans" were basic medical research, and there were no companies willing to invest money.

This kind of purely basic project cannot be profitable, and the enterprise is not interested.

Enterprises like projects that are short-term and can make money quickly.

Professor He wondered if Boss Huang had other intentions, and when Huang Jiacai showed him the cooperation agreement, there was no clause on it that required profits, but only asked for the results of the cooperation project to be shared.

Professor He, who was cautious, took the agreement back and discussed it for several days, before he met Huang Jiacai again with an attitude of trying, and the two signed the agreement.

After signing the agreement, Huang Jiacai made a phone call on the spot, and on the account of Nandu Medical University left by Professor He, he received the first scientific research fund of Ruixing Company - 20 million.

Twenty million!

Just like that, Professor He was in a bit of a trance at the time.

At that time, Professor He saw Huang Jiacai's sincerity and courage, and felt that his project had hope.

This is the first time Yang Ping has met with Professor He, and it is also the first time to use Professor He's "digital human" technology.

Yang Ping wants to use the "digital human" technology to establish a dynamic model of the motion system of Fang Faquan.

Then, the computer was used to optimize the line of force, calculate the location and direction of the osteotomy, determine the pinhole position of the external fixator, and dynamically simulate the correction process.

These simulations, Yang Ping can be carried out in the system space with experimental subjects.

However, the experience gained in the system space can only be his personal reference for surgery, and he is not satisfied with this.

He's going to elevate that experience into science and technology that can advance medicine.

Then, using a computer for surgical simulation is the best option.

If you can use the data you get in the system space for computer modeling, then the computer simulation technology will become very accurate.

Professor He is already waiting at the entrance of the experimental building, which has many laboratories, and the digital human project is just one of them.

Such respect for Huang Jiacai and Yang Ping is not that Professor He bows his head to the gold owner, but that Huang Jiacai, the boss with a high school degree, is really very far-sighted and respectful to Professor He and the researchers.

Professor He and Huang Jiacai have become friends who hate to see each other late.

Today, Huang Jiacai brought Yang Ping over, and he must have attached great importance to it.

Of course, he still doesn't know the true relationship between Yang Ping and Huang Jiacai.

The digital medicine laboratory only occupies half a floor on the third floor, introducing each other and exchanging a few words, Professor He took Yang Ping and Huang Jiacai to their usual office.

"If that's convenient, let's start modeling now?" As soon as Yang Ping sat down, he proposed to start work.

"Yes, I'm ready, Mr. Huang said, Professor Yang needs to establish a model of the lower limb walking function this time, it just so happens that we have improved the simulation of the lower limb function, there was no digital human function module before, and the construction of this model will definitely not be completed in a few months, now there is a digital human lower limb function module, on this basis, add the external fixture module, as long as a few days can complete the modeling, and then these modules are matched and mature, and the modeling can be completed in a few hours." Prof. Ho is very happy to have someone who uses his technology, and he feels a great sense of accomplishment.

Huang Jiacai said to Professor He: "Professor He, just call me Xiao Huang, don't be Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang, it seems to be raw." ”

Professor He felt very good about this young man, and immediately said: "We have just entered the simulation of lower limb function before, and there are difficulties in funding. ”

At present, the digital human is still in the stage of anatomical person, and only the motor function of the lower limb has entered the stage of functional person.

Professor He found a graduate student to take Fang Faquan to the sports information collection room.

Professor He, Yang Ping, Huang Jiacai, and several graduate students were in the computer lab next door.

The two rooms are connected by a small door through a glass wall.

The graduate student told Fang Faquan to follow the instructions, explained each instruction clearly, and demonstrated it to Fang Faquan.

The young man had a fairly smart mind and good receptivity, and quickly learned how to follow the instructions.

There are many sensors on the floor of the sports information collection room and on the whole body of the room, and there are high-definition high-speed cameras at different angles on the ceiling and walls to capture the movement status of different sides.

First it was a slow walk, then a run, then a jump, a stop, and a turn.

Each movement state has to capture a lot of dynamic images.

On the screen in the computer room, a model figure is displayed, doing exactly the same action as Fang Fa.

This model human is a stripped out of the human locomotor system, only bones, joint capsules, ligaments, muscles and tendons, etc.

This image is a 3D reconstruction of Fang Faquan's bone CT, 3D reconstruction of MRI of muscles and tendons, and then combined with the module of a digital human.

Fang Faquan's motion information was collected, and the screen was split into two halves.

Half of it is still a model of Fang Faquan, and the other half is a model of Fang Faquan of a normal person.

The latter model is based on the correction of the previous model.

Animations are then used to illustrate the dynamic process from deformity to normality.

Yang Ping explained to Professor He and the graduate students how to intervene in surgery, the information that surgeons need to obtain, and how models can assist surgeons.

These people are all high-IQ master's and doctoral students, and they are all computer graduate students with medical backgrounds, and they quickly understood what Yang Ping said.

In the orthopedic process, they add the influence of the external fixator model and then find the optimal stretch core line, which is the osteotomy line.

According to biomechanics, it is only necessary to find the optimal distribution point of the pinholes of the outer fixator.

The external fixator is then allowed to stretch to complete the deformity to normal deformation.

"Give us three days and we'll give you a satisfactory digital model." Professor He was very confident after listening.

The combination of digital technology and clinical practice has exerted great power.

"If we have an independent supercomputer in the future, the project will progress faster."

Owning a supercomputer is Professor Ho's dream.

Huang Jiacai encouraged the professor: "Take your time, in the near future, we will have everything, not to mention supercomputing, even supercomputing clusters will be realized." ”

This project is the most basic project in Huang's plan, and he will pool funds to support this project.

At present, the company is short of funds and can only provide so much, and when it makes money in the future, it will continue to inject funds.

"If we have enough funding, we can expand our research team and be able to model the motor function of the lower limbs, spine and upper limbs in one year, the most complex of the three is the function of the upper limbs, especially the hands, which takes a long time." Professor Ho is full of confidence.

"Professor He, you can study with peace of mind in the future, and if you have any difficulties, tell me directly, and we will continue to support this project." Huang Jiacai gave Professor He a reassurance.

Professor He did not doubt Boss Huang's strength at all: "Xiao Huang, with your words, I am relieved, to tell you the truth, we are most afraid of half of the basic project being wasted." ”

Computers will play a pivotal role in the future of medical aids.

In an orthopedic like this, it is difficult to achieve the desired results if the surgery is guided by experience.

With computer simulation, everything is very easy.

Yang Ping can rely on a large number of case simulations in the system space to achieve the ultimate in surgery, and he has always hoped that the operation can be achieved without the system, which is what Yang Ping pursues.

The system is just a tool for him, and he is now going to make a system for every doctor.

Digital humans can help Yang Ping achieve this goal.

If one day, digital humans can realistically simulate the human body anatomically and functionally, all patients can use digital human modeling, simulate surgery, and then combine the data with surgical robots or computer-aided equipment to make surgery easy and accurate.

In the future, digital humans can also be combined with virtual reality technology to develop a doctor training system, so that doctors can repeatedly train a certain surgery.

With digital humans as the core, many technologies can be expanded.

In this way, every doctor has a powerful plug-in.

Yang Ping and Professor He continued to discuss the details of the functional modeling of the whole lower limb of Fangfa.

In the digital medicine laboratory of Nandu Medical University, Yang Ping stayed all morning, and at noon, Huang Jiacai invited him to a banquet for Professor He and all the researchers in the laboratory.

Professor He was very excited at the dinner, and intellectuals pursued it like this - focusing on down-to-earth scientific research.

Now someone has given him investment money, and they have a lot of respect for him, and they don't ask for anything, and they don't interfere with scientific research.

Isn't it just a dream to do research?

Professor He has already decided to cooperate with them, and it is meaningless to judge or win awards.

As long as there is scientific research funding, it doesn't matter if he invests his energy in this life.

The first is the latest.
