EDITH is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA), funded by the European Commission, which will capitalise on the developments of digital technologies, high performance computing, availability and access to research and healthcare data in Europe, with the mission of defining a roadmap to go from separated single organ digital twins, to the integrated Virtual Human Twin (VHT). EDITH will facilitate this process by building an evolutionary ecosystem, driven by a consensus among the relevant European communities, and implemented through the aid of practical tools, such as a data/model repository (within the scope of EDITH), and a simulation platform (to be implemented after EDITH).

The Virtual Human Twin (VHT) is an integrated multi-scale, -time, and -discipline representation of quantitative human physiology and pathology. Its realisation through a collaborative distributed knowledge and resource infrastructure is specifically designed to accelerate the development, integration, and adoption of patient-specific predictive computer models, which will be used as clinical decision support systems, for personal health forecasting or as methodologies for the development and derisking of personalised medical products. 

As part of this CSA, we plan to make a number of resources available in open access that should help the ecosystem engage with the Action. When they are released, these resources will be made available through Zenodo, within this Community.
