B-APP is an innovative software that integrates Digital Twin technology, Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support the planning, simulation, and optimization of endoscopic bariatric surgery, with a specific focus on Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG). Starting from pre-operative MRI imaging, the system reconstructs a three-dimensional, patient-specific model of the stomach using AI algorithms...

The theory of hyperelasticity is well established for isotropic materials, but open questions remain on how mechanical properties evolve with the strain state. At CMBM, we have developed a generalized approach for computing generalized incremental moduli [1] (i.e., material stiffness measures defined at a given stress–strain state) that extends the traditional definitions [2] used for...

Obesity has emerged as a pervasive global health crisis. Bariatric Surgery (BS) stands out as the most potent therapeutic approach for weight reduction and enhancing both quality of life and associated medical conditions. Among the various procedures, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) ranks among the most widely practiced worldwide, despite the inherent risk of post-operative GastroEsophageal...

Human fascial tissue has implications ranging from tissue engineering to recovery medicine and sports performance, due to its structural and force transmission role. In this context, in vitro, in silico and in vivo studies have been developed to study the fascial system from different perspectives. Specifically, mechanical tests, computational model simulations, ultrasound evaluations and artificial...
