## Resource

Our host, Davide Montesarchio, heads to Leuven, Belgium, where he sits down with Prof. Jan d’Hooge—Vice‑Rector for Research Policy at KU Leuven and leader of the Cardiovascular Imaging & Dynamics group. D’Hooge’s lab is turning everyday echocardiography into a predictive, precision tool. Together, Davide and Jan explore how computer modelling, simulations, and AI are redefining what a simple “echo” can reveal—and what that means for patients, clinicians, and the future of in silico medicine. Tune in for a journey where math meets muscle and pixels predict prognosis.
