Advancing Trust, Credibility, and Impact Through Computational Modeling & Simulation (CM&S)

Building on the success of the MDIC CM&S Symposium series, the 2027 Innovators Forum will host a dedicated Computational Modeling & Simulation Pillar. MDIC’s annual computational modeling and simulation symposium brings together regulatory scientists, industry innovators, and FDA subject-matter experts to advance the science and applications of CM&S in medical device development.

From in silico trials to digital twins, sessions span foundational methodology, real-world implementation, and emerging frontiers—offering depth for the specialist and accessible entry points for those integrating CM&S into broader development and regulatory strategies.

What to Expect

This symposium will showcase how computational modeling, simulation, artificial intelligence, and digital evidence are transforming medical device development and evaluation. Join leaders from industry, academia, regulatory agencies, and healthcare as we explore how digital evidence is transforming medical device innovation and evaluation. Through real-world case studies and cross-disciplinary perspectives, participants will explore Pillar themes of what makes digital evidence credible, trustworthy, decision-ready, and fit for regulatory/clinical use.
