Subject: VPH Newsletter - May 2024

As an in silico medicine tool, Artificial Intelligence covers an important role in many aspects of medical clinics. In this video we will show how, thanks to AI, we can turn all the data surrounding us into actionable medical decisions.
POLICY NEWS
On 29 May 2024, the Commission has unveiled the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Office, established within the Commission.
The EUCAIM project funded under the Digital Europe Programme has launched its open call for new beneficiaries to join the project deploying the Cancer Image Europe platform.
VPH COMMUNITY
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted clinical studies globally, including those assessing ritlecitinib's safety in hepatic and renal impairments. Hindered by recruitment challenges, scientists innovatively employed a computer model to create virtual populations based on previous studies, facilitating the continuation of the clinical trial, even during the pandemic.
This "Implementation Guidance and Guidelines" document, part of the In Silico World project's "Ethical and Legal Framework," offers twelve key recommendations on the ethical and legal aspects of in silico trials.
On 15-16 April 2024, the first International Symposium on Digital Twins in Healthcare took place in Cyprus, co-organised by 3 EIC projects, DIGIPREDICT, OPTOMICS, NEUROTWIN, as well as the EDITH-CSA.


As an in silico medicine tool, Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising healthcare. When did it start? And how can AI contribute to improving and making doctors' work more efficient worldwide? We asked such questions to Leonardo Castorina, PhD student in Biomedical AI at the University of Edinburgh, specialising in AI-driven protein design and immune system research.
