Subject: VPH Newsletter: April 2023

The future of medicine is virtual, or better, there will be more and more virtual technologies in the future of medicine, but what do clinicians think about the Virtual Human Twin?
POLICY NEWS
This position paper highlights the potential of in silico medicine, using computational modelling and simulation to aid drug discovery, development, and delivery. It calls for adaptation of in silico technology to be a standard practice to complement in vivo and in vitro approaches in healthcare through a collaborative ecosystem of stakeholders.
The Commission has adopted two multiannual work programmes for the Digital Europe Programme, outlining the objectives and specific topic areas that will receive a total of €1.284 billion in funding, out of which €553 million is available in 2023.
Wellcome Leap's Dynamic Resilience program, jointly funded with Temasek Trust, seeks breakthroughs that will enable more resilience as we age.
Work is currently ongoing in EP Committees ENVI and LIBE on a joint report on the European Health Data Space.

On 19 April 2023 in occasion of the ISW General Assembly, the Life Sciences and Society Lab (KU Leuven) and the Virtual Physiological Human Institute (VPHi) organized a workshop on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)
The 3D printing of intricate anatomical structures has become increasingly sophisticated in line with advances in imaging technology, with the use of printed phantoms facilitating the more detailed manipulation of a simulated valve’s anatomy and control of blood flow behaviour.
The emerging technology of digital twins is explored in 'Virtual You: How Building Your Digital Twin Will Revolutionize Medicine and Change Your Life', the third book by Science Museum Science Director Roger Highfield and Professor Peter Coveney of University College London. In this panel discussion, the authors were joined by experts working at the frontiers of this new science.
Where is engineering simulation heading? Is it being adopted as much as it should be? If not, what’s the hold-up? Are Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning having an impact on the R&D process?
