How In Silico Medicine Can Accelerate Innovation in Medical Devices

New medical devices need to be manually tested for safety and efficacy several times throughout their development cycle. But is it possible to eliminate the drawbacks of time, costs, and possible safety risks while maintaining the advantages of in vivo evaluation? One way to achieve this could be in silico medicine, which uses virtual human models to replace their physical counterparts in testing and clinical evaluation of new medical devices.

 In the white paper Dr. Visa Suomi, Medical Devices Industry Manager at MathWorks, discusses how medtech companies can take advantage of computational modelling and simulation in medical devices R&D and stay competitive in the future.
