Simulation of the human body for a predictive healthcare
Can a computer model replicate human physiology?
The body synthetic
Computer model: a vast compendium of medical knowledge (in the form of a program) drawn from:– epidemiological data
– clinical trials
– physician interviews
translated into differential equations
Virtual physiological human (VPH)
• Reproduction of the complex workings of human biology
• Simulated population “developing” medical problems
• Individual risk profiles• Virtual trials (shorter
and cheaper)
