Event Description
BIOMED Seminar

Title:
The Value of Modeling and Simulation for the Biomedical Industry

Speaker:
Daniel R. Matlis                   
President
Axendia Inc.

Details:
Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) is having a transformative effect across the biomedical product lifecycle.  The use of computer-generated digital evidence can provide significant value over traditional prototyping, bench testing, design for manufacturability, manufacturing process optimization, in vivo testing, clinical studies, and post-market fault analysis.

Regulators around the world are encouraging the use of CM&S. The European Medicines Agency is actively working to enhance the use of CM&S across the product lifecycle. The FDA has identified CM&S as a CDRH and Agency-wide priority, and recognizes its value as a regulatory tool with the potential to reduce the cost and enhance the scope of device evaluation.  

In addition, the use of validated digital evidence and digital twins can reduce the burden on physical testing and in vivo studies, as well as streamline manufacturing to accelerate new product introductions.
