pyCEPS: A cross-platform electroanatomic mapping data to computational model conversion platform for the calibration of digital twin models of cardiac electrophysiology

Data from electro-anatomical mapping (EAM) systems are playing an increasingly important role in computational modeling studies for the patient-specific calibration of digital twin models. However, data exported from commercial EAM systems are challenging to access and parse. Converting to data formats that are easily amenable to be viewed and analyzed with commonly used cardiac simulation software tools such as openCARP remains challenging. We therefore developed an open-source platform, pyCEPS, for parsing and converting clinical EAM data conveniently to standard formats widely adopted within the cardiac modeling community.
