Subject: VPH Newsletter: Sept 2022

A range of authors across academia and industry, representing both the VPHi and the Avicenna Alliance, have produced a new white paper on potential of the use of computer modelling and simulation in healthcare, with a particular focus on the role of Artificial Intelligence, that is intended to stimulate policy making, regulatory thinking and research strategies in this exciting space.
POLICY NEWS
On 12 September 2022, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) published its draft opinion on the European Health Data Space (EHDS)
On 12-13 December 2022, the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations will hold a multi-stakeholder workshop focusing on the use of Digital Health Technologies in drug development and the related outcomes for patients.
At the event, the Presidency of the Council, EU Health Ministers, high-level EU officials as well as representatives from Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland gathered to discuss a series of issues related to EU health policies. Particular emphasis has been put on oncology and the fight against cancer.
The launch of this multi-stakeholder framework - The CODE-EHR Minimum Standards Framework - aims at improving clinical research using real-world data.

After 4 years, the VPH Conference was held as a physical event in Porto (Portugal) from the 6th to the 9th of September.
As parallel activities just before and after the VPH2022 conference, 4 interesting workshops took place organised by members of our community.
During the opening ceremony of the VPH conference, a lecture-performance featured physiologically based dancing digital twins. This could lay the basis for a new patient-centric and preventive healthcare system.
Using in silico trials based on mechanistic models, the jinkō platform predicts clinical outcomes before trials in human subjects.

STUDENT COMMITTEE
The webinar will take place on 17 October 2022 - 10 am CET. Register now!
The call for participation for the new VPHi student committee is now open! We are looking for motivated PhD students with interest in in silico medicine research willing to actively participate in the life of the community. Application deadline: 15 Nov 2022.
Laura Baumgartner (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) won the VPHi Best Thesis Award in In Silico Medicine and presented her research work during the VPHi 2022 plenary Award Ceremony.
During the plenary Award Ceremony on the last day of the VPH 2022 Conference, Mojtaba and the other three finalists presented their work to the entire assembly before the official announcement of the winner.
The Student Committee organised a networking session in which students had the opportunity to interact with Senior members of the Community during VPH2022 Conference.
