Medical Modeling and Simulation (MM&S)

Date of Publication:

8/22/2018

Definition:

The medical discipline that comprises the development or use of medical modeling and simulations.  It involves the equipment, including hardware, and the software that implements a model or simulation or an adjunct tool.  The hardware or software that is either used to provide part of a simulation environment (e.g., to manage the execution of the environment) or to transform and manage data used by or produced by a model or simulation.  Adjunct tools are differentiated from simulation software; they do not provide a virtual or constructive representation as part of a simulation environment.  Simulation is a method for implementing a model over time.
