Dear VHT enthusiast,
We are very happy to invite you for the
first ecosystem meeting on building the VHT!
Where:
Palaiseau Campus of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris
When: The meeting
will start on January 18th at noon (with a light lunch) and end on January 19th at 4pm.
EDITH and the VHT:
The EDITH coordination & support action is working on facilitating an ecosystem-driven creation of the roadmap for the Virtual Human Twin (VHT). The
Virtual Human Twin (VHT) is envisioned as a systematic, ever-growing digital and quantitative representation of the actionable knowledge available on human pathophysiology. The European VHT platform will enable the pooling of resources and assets to develop
digital twins in healthcare and assess their credibility. It entails the development of a federated public infrastructure and the collection of appropriate resources (data, models, algorithms, computing power, storage etc.), driven by the engagement of a collaborative
ecosystem. With the help of the consortium, advisory boards, experts and the wider ecosystem (though public meetings and a public feedback phase), we created a first draft of the
VHT
roadmap. It mostly serves to indicate the different elements that need to be elaborated and supported in the scope of the VHT.
Meeting objectives and program:
In this meeting we aim to further the work on the VHT roadmap, ensuring it is comprehensive in its inclusion of all necessary building blocks and considerations for realizing the VHT. Hence, the meeting will consist of a mix of plenary sessions and break-outs.
Topics will include (amongst others) clinical uptake, commercialization, real-world data, AI, ethics, integration of resources, European platforms, incentivization and new use cases. At the end of
the Paris meeting, we will structure the work (developing & writing) and the organization (working groups, online meetings, slack) for the coming 6 months. All of this work will be brought together and translated into a tangible 10-year plan during the second
public VHT ecosystem meeting (15-16/7/2024 in KIT, Amsterdam).
Who should attend:
all members of the ecosystem are welcome, including (but not limited to) colleagues from academia, industry, research institutes, hospitals, HPC centers, regulators, notified bodies, HTA agencies, legal offices, ethics societies, as well as social sciences,
civil and patient organisations. Participation to the meeting and the networking dinner are free of charge. Reimbursement of travel is available for a limited number of participants, on the basis of identified needs. Please contact Mirko De Maldè
m.de...@lynkeus.com for questions on reimbursement and all other
practical matters.
Registration: As the
amount of places is limited to 200, please register via Eventbrite

Looking forward to seeing you in Paris!
Best wishes, on behalf of the EDITH consortium,
