Abstract: As one of the most crucial tools for advancements in contemporary medicine, computers and other comparable technology have paved the way for various applications in research, treatment, and academia. Most notably, computerised simulations have enabled the field of biomedicine to collect and reproduce data at a far faster rate than before their incorporation. The potential benefits of this technology are numerous, as they can vastly improve the quality of life of the patients, medics, and researchers involved while significantly improving the efficacy of the FDA approval process. Despite this, many of these simulations have considerable obstacles limiting the extensive use of the technology. This paper investigates the importance and challenges in implementing two types of computer simulations in biomedicine: modelled personalised medicine and virtual reality. The discussed recurring challenges in practical uses of the technology include excessive prices, ineffective data distribution, and inaccurate model recreations. With the cooperation of various groups, several potential solutions are proposed, including material cost reduction and user-centred designs, ultimately demonstrating how modifications must be made to the current state of computer simulation in biomedicine before it can be considered widespread.
