Abstract
We developed an integrated platform combining high-throughput automated biofabrication, systematic patient-derived tissue experiments, and specialized artificial intelligence to enable patient-specific computational "digital twins" for thrombosis prediction. Our automated manufacturing platform fabricates 80 fully assembled, patient-specific vessel-on-chips within 10 hours from clinical imaging--a [~]100-fold improvement over manual methods--achieving sub-micron precision through novel two-stage pneumatic motion control and integrated optical feedback. Using these chips, we systematically captured thrombosis across 491 high-fidelity videos spanning 6 patient-derived vascular geometries, 5 distinct anatomical injury sites, and 14 anticoagulant/antiplatelet interventions, establishing a "physical twin" experimental corpus. We trained CLoT (Cascade Learner of Thrombosis), a conditional video diffusion model efficiently adapted via lightweight Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) to generate realistic thrombosis videos conditioned on patient-specific geometry, injury location, and drug treatment. Rigorous benchmarking against state-of-the-art commercial models (Sora, Wan, Kling, Seedance, Hailuo, Hunyuan) reveals CLoT achieves 7.38-fold superior temporal biological consistency and 5.3-fold higher spatial morphological fidelity. Prospective validation on unseen patients demonstrates >90% temporal accuracy. This integrated paradigm--combining automated fabrication with domain-specialized generative AI--establishes proof-of-concept for personalized medicine enabled by digital twins trained on human-derived vascular anatomy, enabling pre-treatment antithrombotic evaluation while providing a replicable template for translating tissue engineering into clinical practice.
