The 8th International Digital Human Modeling Symposium 2023 will be held from Monday 4 till Wednesday 6 September 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium.

The symposium is organized by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy, the Center for Health and Technology (CHaT) Institute of University of Antwerp and the Technical Committee of Digital Human Modelling and Simulation at International Ergonomics Association (IEA). The congress is sponsored by IEA, the Digital Human Modelling by Women (DHMW) group, the Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (IBV), Rehabilitation Hospital RevArte (Belgium) and Movella (NL).

Scope​

The DHM2023 provides an international forum for researchers to report their latest innovations, summarize state-of-the-art in the field, as well as exchange ideas, results, and visions in all fields of digital human modeling research and applications.​

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:​

  • Anthropometry and 3D and 4D human body modeling
  • Model standards and protocols
  • Verification and validation of DHMs
  • Musculoskeletal human models
  • Motion capture and reconstruction
  • Posture and motion simulation
  • Mental/cognitive models and integrated models
  • Human functional data (e.g., joint maximum strength, joint range of motion)
  • Modeling for subjective responses (e.g., ingress/egress, seat comfort)
  • Musculoskeletal human models
  • Body part modeling (e.g., spine, pelvis, head, hand, foot..)
  • Modeling of responses to shock or impact or vibration
  • Musculoskeletal human models
  • Motion capture and reconstruction
