By imputing data about each patient a network in a VPH, Virtual Physiological Human, model, and doctors will be able to better predict the best course of treatment and the outcome of a patient’s treatment. The main objectives, as listed on the P-Med site are “linking the p-medicine environment with important European Research infrastructure initiatives, developing training and educational eLearning tools for end-users to foster VPH models for decision support.” [8]
