Mechanical Engineering professor Kristin Myers explains how a virtual cervix can save lives, "In my laboratory, we measure the physical properties of reproductive anatomy to build digital twins that simulate the human body. These twins are helping femtech companies design tools and techniques to replace the surprisingly rudimentary treatments available to ob-gyns. Physicians and engineers are currently working on methods to use individual patients’ ultrasounds to customize digital twins, helping better understand the causes of preterm birth and opening the door to predicting this common and dangerous complication."
