Today, Dr. Serena Ricci, winner of the "Development and validation of new advanced simulation technologies for the training and planning of diagnostic and operational interventions in medicine", begins her research activities.

The specific objectives are:

- develop patient-specific solutions that allow the physician to carry out invasive examinations and surgeries after planning and testing the intervention repeatedly in simulation;

- develop Virtual/Augmented Reality solutions designed specifically for medical training;

- build low-cost, portable prototypes that meet the specific needs of users that are not satisfactory with commercially available solutions.

In the context of the joint laboratory with the Dibris, the SimAV aims to be a provider of innovative technological solutions and a promoter of cutting-edge research in the field of advanced simulation in medicine, with particular attention to the user-specific needs of the Ligurian territory.
