Connecting 3DEXPERIENCE with Medidata’s Clinical Trial platform will help clinicians connect the dots between research, development, manufacturing, clinical trials and commercial deployment throughout the health ecosystem.

Through 3DEXPERIENCE, product developers can create a digital twin of the product they are working on, through which they can measure and assess its metrics. This can be used to predict the performance of the asset and help optimise its performance – for example, a medical device manufacturer could use the platform to perform a digital trial-run of a new hip replacement it had developed.

Dassault Systèmes vice chairman and CEO Bernard Charlès said: “Medidata will be a core brand in our information intelligence domain. By combining data intelligence and simulation, we power smarter therapeutics for healthier people.

“The virtual world will push the bounds of possibilities to transform not only research and science, but also the entire pharmaceutical and medical device industry and medicine, in general. We made virtual twins of cars and airplanes possible. We will do the same for the human body.”
