EUROPEAN PROJECTS
To address the lack of trained personnel in the use of in silico trials technologies, we are developing dedicated course modules to train and retrain individuals with the technical skills needed to work with in silico trials technologies.
The project, now concluding its 3rd year of activity, has completed most of its technical results, including validation of its methodologies for virtual cohort generation and validation and device effect simulation for safety, efficacy and usability testing, and is now heading towards the last six months of implementation.
