Oh wow! Years ago, this program was preloaded on our laptops in medical school. I remember the donor was incarcerated and decided to donate his body. It was really quite helpful for visualizing anatomy in cross section vs what we saw in anatomy lab. It was a standalone folder app and I have regretted not backing it up elsewhere.

People are working on Virtual Twin[0] mumbo jumbo along these lines. Why bother with microscopic effects of ion channels and cell proliferation when you can simulate tissue dynamics with continuous gradients?
(Because the trees are often more informative than the forest itself...)
This feels like a nothingburger. There isn't even a hint of how the virtual human works or a demo or anything. Just lots of back patting about the clever name.
