STA Panel at ASA Annual Meeting 2026

STA Panel at ASA ANESTHESIOLOGY 2026:
Digital Twins and Predictive Physiology:
The Next Generation of Patient Monitoring

This panel examines how real-time, patient-specific physiological models can improve anesthetic precision and early risk detection. Speakers will cover the development of digital twins, the integration of multimodal data streams (ultrasound, EEG, EHR, wearables), and clinical case studies demonstrating adaptive monitoring, predictive dashboards, and key limitations to implementation.

Moderator:
