Computational Modeling & Simulation – Overview
Overview
Paving the way for evaluation of 21st-century medical devices.
The Computational Modeling and Simulation (CM&S) Program was developed to achieve the delivery of medical product solutions in a responsible, patient sparing way that balances the desire for certainty in the device performance while limiting the delay in patient access associated with increased certainty through the use of computer modeling and simulation as valid scientific evidence.
Priority Areas
- Combining simulations and experiments to inform clinical trials.
- Simulation of the heart, vasculature, and related medical devices.
- Neurostimulation electrochemical mechanisms of damage identification.
- Magnetic resonance-induced heating.
- Modeling and simulation in orthopedics.
- Libraries for publicly sharing models, inputs, and validation data.
- Simulation of blood damage, hemolysis and thrombosis.
Computational Modeling & Simulation Steering Committee
Our Vision
The vision of the CM&S Program is to aid in the creation and approval of safe and effective medical devices by providing access to:
- High quality computational modeling and simulations
- Forums for discussing CM&S topics
- The latest CM&S validation and reporting documents
Computational Modeling and Simulation Focus Areas
Publicly Funded Human Body Simulation Models
MDIC is leading translation research to bridge the gap between NIH funded academic research models and models for development of medical devices and interventions.
Blood Damage Models
Developing models that will help medical device developers understand and optimize their devices to minimize the effects of blood damage during the product development stage and, potentially, assist in assessing safety.
Virtual Patient Model
Integration of VP data within the clinical trial simplification framework has the power to revolutionize how device companies conduct clinical trials, sustain this paradigm shift, and satisfy patient and provider demands for safety, efficacy and improved access.
