Digital Human Modeling and Medicine: A Revolutionary Approach to Medical Research

Authored by Gunther Paul, “Digital Human Modeling and Medicine: The Digital Twin” is a comprehensive guide to Digital Human Modeling (DHM) and its applications in the medical field. DHM is a cutting-edge science that represents humans with their physical properties, characteristics, and behaviors in virtual models, revolutionizing the way medical devices and products are designed and studied.

Understanding Digital Human Modeling

DHM involves creating computerized, virtual models of humans that can be used standalone or integrated with other design systems to design and study medical devices and their interaction with humans. These models provide fast and cost-efficient computer-based tools for assessing human functional systems and human-system interaction, making them an essential tool in medical research.

A Comprehensive Overview of Human Simulation Tools

This book provides an industry-first, practitioner-focused overview of human simulation tools, featuring detailed chapters on body functional elements and organs, organ interactions, and fields of application. By linking DHM tools to specific scientific and practical problems, the book offers a coherent framework for understanding the human body.

Real-World Applications of Digital Human Modeling

The book showcases how DHM interfaces with common physical devices in medical practice, addressing a significant gap in literature and a common question among practitioners. Case studies provide applied knowledge for practitioners to make informed decisions, making it an invaluable resource for anyone working in the medical field.

Key Features and Benefits

• A non-specialist level, up-to-date overview and introduction to all medically relevant DHM systems
