E-Health is the use of new information and communication technologies to improve health and health care. A symposium on 22nd November explored UCL’s contribution to e-health, by bringing together an enormously varied community of researchers to showcase their work and exchange ideas. Find out more.

As part of VPH2012, we will be holding a workshop upon the topic of The Mathematics of Multiscale Modelling, with specific application to modelling of the human physiome. Workshop themes will include, but will not be strictly limited to:

- fundamental mathematical techniques in multiscale modelling for the Virtual Physiological Human;
- homogenisation across multiple spatial scales;
- asymptotic analysis and its application to multiple timescale problems;
- hybrid (stochastic/determinstic, discrete/continuous) models across multiple spatio-temporal scales.

Next VPH Funding Call

Based on notes from a presentation by Joel Bacquet, Head of sector, ICT for Health, DG-INFSO, in London on 12 December 2011

The European Commission will be publishing a new call for VPH-type research:  FP7 ICT Call 9 will be published 18 January, with applications due 17 April 2012.

In spite of the current austerity programmes, the success of current VPH projects has enabled DG-INFSO to secure a budget of €58m for further research.  In an effort to encourage world-wide partnerships (and avoid duplication of effort), up to €3m has been reserved for consortium partners in the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and Canada.  A further €8.5m of the total has been earmarked for “demonstrators” to showcase the possibilities of these new tools.
