With new methods such as computer simulations and virtual animal models, implants to be developed, such as transcatheter aortic valve implants, should achieve even better quality and safety. Although this will not replace human and animal studies, it should at least reduce them.
The joint project is being funded by the European Union (EU) over three years with a total of 7.2 million euros, of which just about one million will go to the Charité University Medicine Berlin, from where the project coordination will be carried out.
In addition to the Charité Berlin, 12 other partners from medicine, academia, and industrial companies located in Germany, Italy, France, Austria, Romania, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK are involved.

SIMCor: computing platform for implantable devices Featured
With a digital kick-off event today and tomorrow, the new Horizon 2020 project called SIMCor get underway. The goal is to provide manufacturers of cardiovascular implantable devices an open, reusable, cloud-based platform for in silico testing. Thus, the development and approval of cardiovascular implants will be accelerated.
