| Abstract: | : | Human physiology is extremely complex and organs operate in tandem exhibiting parallelism and synchronisation at multiple levels, i.e. from cells to organs. The inherent concurrency and communication is both complex and time sensitive. Existing approaches are mainly developed for simulation and hence don't support real-time operation. We propose to adopt the well known synchronous approach, which is widely used in many safety critical systems including aviation, to model human physiology. We show that the developed approach can faithfully model human organs, such as the heart and the gut, with high fidelity. We especially illustrate the approach using the design of a heart on a chip, which can be used for closed-loop validation of pacemakers, instead of using live organs. |
