Opti - Interactive 3D Cardiac Electrophysiology

The Vision

Innovative educational platform that bridges the gap between ECG patterns and their underlying 3D anatomical reality. The first system to provide real-time synchronization between ECG waveforms and 3D electrical conduction visualization in the human heart.

What Makes It Special

Real-time ECG-3D Sync: Electrical conduction animations synchronized with ECG generation

Medical Accuracy: Clinically accurate ECG simulation with pathophysiology-driven vector calculations

Interactive Learning: Scrub through cardiac cycles, adjust parameters, visualize electrical axis changes

12-Lead ECG Generation: Full-spectrum cardiac rhythm simulation including arrhythmias, blocks, and pathologies

Tech Stack Highlights

Frontend - Next.js + React Three Fiber + Tailwind + Framer Motion

// Real-time 3D electrical conduction animation 
const FULL_CONDUCTION_SEQUENCE = [ { structure: 'sa-node', startTime: 0, duration: 40, intensity: 1.0, phase: 'atrial' }, { structure: 'av-node', startTime: 100, duration: 60, intensity: 1.9, phase: 'av-delay' }, { structure: 'purkinje-fibers', startTime: 240, duration: 25, intensity: 2.9, phase: 'ventricular' } ];

Backend - Python FastAPI + Supabase

Architecture Innovation

Dynamic Vector System: Transitioned from static cardiac vectors to pathophysiology-driven dynamic calculations, enabling realistic electrical axis changes for conditions like LVH, RVH, and fascicular blocks.

Code-Based Animation: All 3D animations are generated programmatically rather than pre-rendered, allowing for real-time parameter adjustment and API integration.

Medical Validation: ECG display follows clinical standards (25mm/s paper speed, 10mm/mV amplitude) with validated lead vectors from published electrophysiology references.

Technical Achievements

Performance: Maintains 60fps during complex electrical animations

Scalability: Supports multiple simultaneous pathologies and rhythm combinations

Accuracy: QT rate correction, bundle branch modeling, electrical axis calculations

UX: Responsive design with theme support, real-time parameter control
