The initial concepts that led to the Virtual Physiological Human initiative came from the IUPS Physiome Project.The project was started in 1997 and represented the first worldwide effort to define the physiome through the development of databases and models which facilitated the understanding of the integrative function of cells, organs, and organisms.

VPHOP (Osteoporotic Virtual Physiological Human) is a European Osteoporosis research project within the framework of the Virtual Physiological Human initiative. Osteoporotic fractures [ edit ] With current technology, osteoporotic fractures can be predicted with an accuracy of less than 60-70% which is almost equivalent to tossing a coin ...
It became apparent that the techniques used to model biological systems has utility to explain and predict dynamics in the medical field. The first fields in medicine to use in silico modeling were genetics, physiology and biochemistry. The field saw a dramatic influx of data when the human genome was sequenced in the 1980s and 1990s.
The physiome of an individual's or species' physiological state is the description of its functional behavior. The physiome describes the physiological dynamics of the normal intact organism and is built upon information and structure (genome, proteome, and morphome). The term comes from "physio-" (nature) and "-ome" (as a whole).
Underlying the VPH concept, the International Union for Physiological Sciences (IUPS) has been sponsoring the IUPS Physiome Project for more than a decade,. [52] [53] This is a worldwide public domain effort to provide a computational framework for understanding human physiology. It aims at developing integrative models at all levels of ...
A virtual human is a real or fictional human being rendered by software. Virtual human may also refer to: Visible Human Project, an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body; Virtual Physiological Human, a methodological and technological framework; Virtual body, a state of being when inhabiting ...
A virtual crash test dummy. A virtual human (or also known as meta human or digital human) [1] is a software fictional character or human being.Virtual humans have been created as tools and artificial companions in simulation, video games, film production, human factors and ergonomic and usability studies in various industries (aerospace, automobile, machinery, furniture etc.), clothing ...
The project is part of the Virtual Physiological Human framework, funded by the European Commission. It started in 2006 with the formation of a consortium of several research institutes and hospitals in Europe and Israel.
