Speakers from Europe, Japan and United States presented very exciting developments such as the use of the Petaflop Japanese supercomputer, capable of 1000 billion operation every second, to simulate the human skeleton at an unsurpassed level of detail, or the prediction of neuromuscular control the astronauts will use while walking on Mars.

The meeting proposed by the e-health unit of the DG INFSO, which is in charge of the VPH projects, was intended as an opportunity for exchanging perspectives, agree on common goals, and identify possible collective actions. The workgroups conclusions suggest that a significant coordination work is required.
