We examine when computational modelling and simulation, or CM&S, genuinely supports medical device simulation strategy and when it becomes a costly detour.
-
This article traces the Pennes bioheat equation from its 1948 origins to modern multiscale approaches, explaining how engineers select the right level of modelling complexity across device categories.
-
Designers and engineers today have no shortage of tools to improve designs, accelerate timelines, and meet cost targets. The challenge is knowing what to use and when.
-
The impact of shear stress is critical to effectively design medical devices that handle biological fluids such as proteins or cell culture media. For example, non-physiological shear stress (NPSS) on blood is a key factor because hemolysis (cell rupture) could occur due to accumulated stress.
-
The costs of early-stage medical device development in North America and Europe continue to rise. Increasing technical complexity and the compounding costs of nonclinical and clinical evaluations are driving this trend.
-
Today, 85% of the top 50 healthcare companies use Computational Modeling and Simulation (CM&S) to develop their products and processes. Whether it’s refining overall device parameters or optimizing critical requirements, engineering simulations help reduce development timelines and enhance design exploration.
-
Computational Modeling and Simulation (CM&S) for medical devices has become a pivotal tool across the medical device industry, complementing and often enhancing traditional bench testing and clinical studies.
-
In a sophisticated world of ever increasing complexity, we need our tools to evolve alongside us and assist in complex decision making, allowing us to understand the consequences of choices ahead. Computational Modelling and Simulation (CM&S) is emerging as an essential tool in building evidence for medical device development.
-
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling is transforming the medical device industry by simulating complex dynamics between biological fluids and medical devices. In a field where safety and precision are paramount, FSI modeling offers engineers and researchers a powerful tool to design, test, and optimize devices in a virtual environment before physical prototypes are created or clinical trials are conducted.
