VIGOR++ Workshop 'New Diagnostic Tools for Bowel Diseases'

7 February 2012, London, UK.
This workshop will explore advances in the integration of clinical data and MRI image analysis, classification and visualisation within the concept of the Virtual Physiological Human. These are enabling the development of a multi-scale, personalized GI tract model-based diagnostic tool deployable on a cloud computing platform. Results aim to demonstrate accurate detection and grading of Crohn's disease that affects 700,000 people in Europe alone.

The VIGOR++ 2012 Workshop serves as a forum for a diverse and rich mix of innovators - both technologists and clinicians. Attendees have a wide range of backgrounds representing all parts of the supply chain including: researchers in universities and hospitals; diagnostics and device companies; public health authorities; private healthcare providers; market analysts and patient groups. The Workshop is the place to exchange knowledge, share experiences, debate current issues, and meet colleagues and friends active in the field.

Benefit from a programme featuring leading experts, focused on best practices, smart algorithms, practical tips and take-home messages that will help you improve your research and patient outcomes. In addition the Workshop will offer opportunities to learn about the:

  • latest screening protocols used for the diagnosis bowel diseases from medical professionals
  • newest algorithms designed to process efficiently and accurately multi-scale data
  • paradigm shift in GI modelling in the context of Virtual Physiological Human and prepare your strategy
  • innovative ICT systems handling medical data in real-time by attending the planned demonstrations
  • emerging portals that empower patients towards self-care

The Workshop is free to attend but by invitation only to ensure a high quality of interaction. If you wish to apply for an invitation or have any questions, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
