Human Body Simulation Models
Overview
Human body simulation models provide insight into clinical performance of medical devices and can potentially improve patient care by accelerating product development and reducing time to market. However, industry adoption of such advanced simulation models has been limited due to many barriers such as time, cost and expertise required for adoption.
MDIC is leading translation research to bridge the gap between NIH funded academic research models and models for development of medical devices and interventions.
