The doctor will see your prototype now: How super-accurate sims can test the effects of drugs on patients

Article Abstract:

Engineers at the Bioengineering Institute in Auckland, New Zealand have developed the Physiome Project that assembles digital models of every system and anatomical feature of the human body. The perfected technology would allow drugmakers to develop and test the effectiveness of medicines before investing huge sums for risky clinical trials and also enable medical engineers to fashion customized implants, helping surgeons to make dry runs on a digital replica of their patient.
