Abstract

The Virtual Physiological Human is a fantastic and very noble concept.  But without a pervasive exploitation, among others through engineering simulation, by both industrial and clinical communities, its impact will be limited.  VPH is essential for the industry to cost effectively test new prototypes in their early design stage when (pre)clinical testing are not possible; VPH is then acting like a “Virtual Human Laboratory” . VPH is also useful for clinicians to understand the potential impact and risk induced by alternative surgery protocols or new implants. Clearly VPH is the interface between these two worlds speaking different languages but aspiring to the same goal: a global world class health care.

This workshop brings together experts from different communities to review progresses made by engineering simulation applied to VPH in various sectors (cardiovascular, orthopedic, respiratory, diagnosis, medical IoT, to mention a few). The audience will assess the current adoption of VPH to bridge the gap between industrial and clinical communities and pave the way towards a tighter collaboration.
