Common questions about Computer Simulation

What does Computer Simulation mean in medicine?
Computer-based representation of physical systems and phenomena such as chemical processes. This definition is taken from the National Library of Medicine's MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) 2026 release, which is the standard vocabulary used to index PubMed and most medical literature.
Is Computer Simulation known by any other names?
Yes. Computer Simulation is also referred to as Computer Simulations, Simulation, Computer, Simulations, Computer, Computer Models in different clinical, research and patient-facing contexts. The MeSH descriptor groups all of these synonyms under a single canonical concept so research and records stay consistent.
Where does Computer Simulation sit in the medical classification?
Computer Simulation falls under the broader medical category "Information Science" in the MeSH hierarchy (tree numbers: L01.224.160). Browsing the related concepts on this page takes you to neighbouring topics in the same branch of medicine.
