Webinar: Assessing Clinical and Economic Benefits of Biocomputational
Models. A Case Study with Physiome Models 

 

Karl Stroetmann and Rainer Thiel, empirica Communication and Technology

How do you assess the impact of biocomputational models?

In this webinar, you will learn about general principles to evaluate the
prospective economic and clinical benefits of simulation methods. We will
show how this approach enables you to:

.         Assess simulation research and translate technical capability
into quantitative estimates of costs and benefits that go beyond model
validation

.         Gain a better understanding about the impact such work can have
on future health care service delivery and clinical practice

.         Demonstrate the added value of simulation research through clear
measures of clinical benefits and the development of business cases   

.         More effectively decide what aspects of the model should be
included or excluded

The webinar is targeted at biocomputational modellers and researchers as
well as RTD funding agencies in the field of Virtual Physiological Human
and Physiome.

About this webinar

The economic assessment method described reflects the latest research from
the NMS Physiome project, a cooperation of two of the largest global
research projects focusing on predictive, personalised and integrative
musculoskeletal medicine: the Osteoporotic Virtual Physiological Human
(VPHOP) project supported by the European Commission, and the Center for
Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures (SIMBIOS) at Stanford
University, funded by the US National Institutes of Health.

The Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) is a framework of methods and
technologies that, once fully established, is expected to make possible
the virtual investigation of the human body as a whole. Started in Europe
in 2005, it has rapidly grown to become one of the research priorities of
the Information and Communication Technologies Programme of the EU Seventh
Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, which runs
from 2007 to 2013. In the US, VPH-type research is funded by all the
federal agencies that participate in the Interagency Modeling and Analysis
Group (IMAG), whose grantees are coordinated in the Multi-Scale Modeling
(MSM) consortium.

 

NMS Physiome is an international project co-funded by the European
Commission Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological
Development. The Webinar is hosted by SIMBIOS, Stanford University.
