Description
Claire de Oliveira, Yingkun Justin Wen, Michael Endale Mengesha, and Filipa Sampaio map sim models of child and teen health in a 2026 review. Such models grow fake lives one by one to forecast health and costs. No past review had gathered the child set. The team searched six data banks plus web and journal sources, then scored each model with a set quality list.
Forty-eight models turned up, most built just for the young. Weight, cancer, and HIV drew the most work, and the United States led in count. Half scored mid quality and half high. Thin proof checks were the chief gap the team found.
