physiological modeling

Physiological modeling is the process of creating mathematical or computer-based representations of the human body's biological systems, such as the heart, lungs, or nervous system. These models simulate how these systems function and interact under different conditions, helping researchers and healthcare professionals understand complex processes, predict responses to treatments, or develop medical devices. Essentially, it's like building a virtual version of the body’s inner workings, allowing for analysis and testing in a safe, controlled environment without risking patient safety.
