A human simulation tool, the Virtual Human, is being developed at
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The Virtual Human will
incorporate physics (such as mechanical and electrical tissue properties)
and biology (from physiology to biochemical information), so that
responses to varied stimuli (biological, chemical and physical) can be
predicted and results displayed using advanced visualization techniques.
ORNL is uniquely equipped to pioneer this development due
to our experience with numerous anatomical and biokinetic models,
databases, informatics and visualization capabilities, as well as the
supercomputing and massive data storage devices required.
