  2. Accelerating the Optimization and Performance Evaluation of Medical Devices
    Biovia allows researchers and engineers to quickly and more accurately assess the performance of medical equipment, which helps reduce costs and production time.
  3. Assessing Reliability and Safety of Materials Before Physical Construction
    With this software, safety and reliability assessments for medical materials and products can be performed without needing to create physical models.
  4. Facilitating Project Management and R&D Activities
    Biovia enables management of research and development projects in research centers and laboratories, aiding collaboration among different groups in these projects.

Biovia Software Features

  • Molecular Mechanics (MM) Calculations: Biovia uses CHARMm c41b1 for molecular mechanics calculations, aiding in the accurate simulation of molecular structures and their reactions.
  • Support for Various Force Fields: The software supports a wide range of force field models such as CGenFF, CHARMM36, CHARMM27, CHARMM22, and MMFF.
  • Accurate Protein Ionization: Biovia can precisely ionize proteins and provide their stability in different environments.
  • Fast Solvations: The software enables rapid solvations of drinking water along with optional counterions for extremely large molecular systems.

The Impact of PLM at Medtronic

Medtronic, one of the world’s largest medical technology companies, has leveraged PLM and Biovia software in its Research & Development (R&D) division to achieve many benefits. These benefits include the following:

  • Reduced Project Implementation Time: Integrated management of processes and resources in projects leads to faster execution and reduced timelines.
  • Increased Reliability: Virtual simulation of equipment performance and medical procedures improves accuracy and trust in product development.
  • Integration and Performance Improvement: Biovia makes it possible to integrate various teams across the organization, from R&D to production and commercialization.
  • Establishing Virtual Laboratories: Biovia helps develop and use virtual laboratories, which cuts educational and laboratory service costs while increasing profitability.

Benefits of Using Biovia in Medical Sciences

  1. Surgical Simulation and Drug Impact Analysis
    Biovia enables researchers to virtually simulate surgeries and analyze the effect of different drugs and treatments on the body.
  2. Increasing the Lifespan of Medical Devices and Reducing Human Error
    This software allows simulation of the behavior of medical devices, increasing their lifespan and reducing human error in medical procedures.
  3. Enhancing Productivity and Reducing Costs
    Biovia helps organizations boost productivity, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market for products or services.

Conclusion

The use of Biovia software in medical sciences, especially in R&D, simulation, and modeling processes, helps optimize four key parameters: cost, time, quality, and profitability. It assists organizations and researchers in managing their scientific processes and information effectively from ideation to commercialization, and enables optimal data analysis and knowledge sharing.
