The Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) is an
international research initiative, which aims to develop a framework of
methods and technologies enabling an integrative investigation of the human
physiology and pathology. The term integrative indicates the need to
overcome the limitations of the reductionist approach, attempting to capture
the emergences due to systemic interaction between space-time scales, organ
systems, but also academic disciplines. In this brief presentation of the
VPH initiative and of its early results we argument that the VPH is first
and foremost an attempt to develop an effective environment for
collaborative modeling and simulation.
