About the Event
Join us for the second Pediatric to Adult Cardio A.I. Conference: Digital Twins, taking place in Austin, Texas, from December 10 to 12.
This three-day event will explore how AI, machine learning, advanced imaging, and digital twin technologies are transforming pediatric and adult cardiovascular care. You’ll gain practical strategies for implementation, network with pioneering technologists, and connect with researchers and clinicians to discover what’s next in cardiac intelligence.
Abstract submission is open until Aug. 14, with acceptance Aug. 31.

Keynote address 1: Chris Kramer, M.D.
Dr. Kramer received his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and his medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco. He completed both a residency and chief residency in internal medicine and fellowship in cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania. His first faculty appointment was at Allegheny General Hospital, MCP/Hahnemann School of Medicine where he directed the cardiology fellowship program. In 1999, he moved to the University of Virginia, where he is now the George A. Beller/Lantheus Medical Imaging Distinguished Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Chief of the Cardiovascular Division.
Keynote address 2: Alison Marsden, Ph.D., David Hoganson, M.D.
Marsden is the Douglass M. and Nola Leishman Professor of cardiovascular disease in the departments of Pediatrics, Bioengineering, and, by courtesy, Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. From 2007 to 2015, she was a faculty member in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of California, San Diego. Marsden’s work focuses on the development of numerical methods for cardiovascular blood flow simulation, medical device design, application of optimization to large-scale fluid mechanics simulations, and application of engineering tools to impact patient care in cardiovascular surgery and congenital heart disease.
Following his training, Dr. Hoganson joined the staff at Boston Children’s Hospital. His clinical focus is on neonates and children with congenital heart disease. He partners with Dr. Fynn-Thompson in the cardiac assist device and heart and lung transplant programs. Additionally, he work as an intensivist in the cardiac intensive care unit. His research is focused on utilizing autologous umbilical veins as a shunt or patch material in neonates with complex congenital heart disease requiring surgery. His lab also focuses on development of devices to improve the safety and effectiveness of cardiac surgery, developing new transplant therapies and lung tissue engineering efforts to improve ECMO and oxygenator technologies.
