Inside in silico medicine
The term in silico medicine derives from silicon—the material used in computer chips—and parallels the Latin terms in vivo (in living organisms) and in vitro (in test tubes). It refers to the use of computer simulations, artificial intelligence, and patient data to study diseases, test therapies, and predict individual responses. This approach helps doctors anticipate illness rather than react to it, enabling faster diagnoses, personalised treatments, and fewer side effects for patients.
