An integrated virtual functional human body (VFHB)

这项研究旨在通过创新的信息技术，从目前在医疗保健领域产生的大量生物医学成像数据中提取和利用新知识。这些技术将允许建立一个现实的、可理解的视觉格式的“虚拟功能人体”，研究人员和非专业人员都可以使用。预计它将导致信息系统交付、科学发现和影响普通人对其健康状况的看法方面的范式变化，从而使他们能够积极参与其健康和总体福祉。

This research is aimed at extracting and harnessing new knowledge from the immense volume of biomedical imaging data that is currently generated in healthcare through innovative information technologies. These technologies will allow a ‘virtual functional human body’ in a realistic, comprehensible visual format to be built, which will be accessible to researchers and lay individuals. It is expected that it will lead to a paradigm-change in the delivery of information systems, scientific discovery and impact on a lay individual's perception of their health status such that it will empower them to actively participate in their health and general well-being.
