EUROPEAN PROJECTS
- InSilicoWorld Project
The In Silico World project aims at accelerating the uptake of modelling and simulation technologies used for the development and regulatory assessment of medicines and medical devices, by lowering seven identified barriers: development, validation, accreditation, optimisation, exploitation, information, and training.
- SimCardioTest Project
Our health data can significantly contribute to better disease prevention, early diagnosis, and the development of a personalised service. SimCardioTest, a project of ten international partners, is funded by the European Commission to demonstrate the feasibility, efficacy and benefits of in-silico trials for disease.
- SimCor Project
On 31 December 2021, SIMCor (In-Silico testing and validation of Cardiovascular IMplantable devices) concluded its 1st year of implementation. Dates aside, much has been accomplished during this first year of activity, with promising results that encourage the consortium.
- SimInSitu Project
SimInSitu is aiming to develop a sophisticated in-silico method to predict the short- and long-term behavior of in-situ tissue engineered heart valves (TEHV) by combing advanced tissue remodeling algorithms with a personalized virtual heart modelling approach.
