Virtual human beings are created in ELEM. They harness the power of mathematical modeling on high-performance computing. They replicate physiological systems in the cloud through a simulation code to test and improve medical devices and drug efficiency. Their disruptive use of supercomputers in medicine in a fast, cost-effective, and replicable way opens up a world of opportunities for medical innovation.

Cardiovascular System. The ELEM’s Virtual Heart incorporates the three fundamental physics: electrical activity, mechanical deformation and fluid mechanics, coupling them tightly and bi-directionally. Their models include chambers and vasculature, which the code can simulate under different
conditions of health, disease, and treatment.

Respiratory System. Their Virtual Respiratory System simulates high definition fluid mechanics from face down to several bronchi levels. Different respiratoty cycles can be analysed to assess the drug-deliver action of inhalers and nebulizers thanks to a very efficient particle transport scheme.
