Computer Methods in Cardiovascular Device Design and Evaluation Annual Meeting: Spring 2010 and Spring 2011 in Washington, DC area

该项目将支持由NSF、NIH和FDA联合主办的两个研讨会，重点是心血管设备设计和评估的计算方法。这些讲习班将于2010年和2011年在华盛顿特区举行。这些研讨会的总体目标是提供一个论坛，供学术界、工业界和政府就医疗设备开发中最佳计算机建模方法的开发进行交流和合作。此类方法在心血管设备设计中未得到广泛应用，但有相当大的潜力帮助开发更安全、更有效的医疗产品。这些会议将在2008和2009年非常成功的会议之后举行，每年有来自学术界、工业界和政府的200多名与会者讨论与心血管系统建模和预测心血管设备的安全性和有效性相关的最佳实践和业界和学术界尚未满足的需求。这些会议正在促进心血管设备设计和评估计算方法的开发、应用和验证，以确定设备公司、工程软件公司、学术机构和政府机构的作用。这次会议的一个非常独特的方面是，IT行业和政府的与会者出席并参与了一个重要的层面。

These workshops will be held in 2010 and 2011 in the Washington DC area. The overall objective of these workshops is to provide a forum for academic, industry and government communication and collaboration related to the development of optimal computer modeling methods in medical device development. Such methods are not widely used in cardiovascular device design, but have considerable potential to aid in the development of safer, more efficacious medical products.These meetings will follow on the highly successful 2008 and 2009 conferences where, each year, over 200 participants from academia, industry and government discussed the best-practices and unmet needs in industry and academia related to modeling the cardiovascular system and predicting safety and efficacy of cardiovascular devices. These meetings are promoting the development, application and validation of computational methods for cardiovascular device design and evaluation identifying the roles of device companies, engineering software companies, academic institutions and government agencies. A highly unique aspect of this meeting is that it industry and government attendees attend and participate at a significant level.
