Integrating Human Physiological Models: The Virtual Human
Big Picture in Human Biology:Integration Required Over Very Different Scales
Smaller Picture in Human Physiology:Integration is Still Difficult
What do we mean by integration?
PPT Slide
Interoperability Solutions
What is Extensible Markup Language (XML)?
Why is XML Important?
What are the advantages of XML?
Distributed Client/Server Methodology
Steps in using JNI
Many other projects facing the same issues
Details of the Virtual Human Concept
Lung physiology: fluid transport model
XML easily customizes the user interface
Circuit models: cardiovascular system
Toxicology application: Inhalation of Hg vapor
Transfer matrix for Hg vapor model
User interface: Hg vapor inhalation model
Integrating Models: I-131 uptake in thyroid
Future: Integrate Simulation of Pulmonary Function
Conclusions: Interoperability Standards
Integration/Interoperabilityis the only way to providesolution for theBig Picture
