Abstract
Computational medicine uses mathematical modelling, high-performance computing, and the avail-
ability of large-scale biomedical data to study multiscale complex diseases. This review synthesizes recent
developments in in silico oncology, neurology, and epidemiology, highlighting their shared methodological
foundations in systems theory and complex networks. We discuss how combining mechanistic approaches
with machine learning integrates heterogeneous data. Finally, we identify translation barriers and outline
future directions like digital twins for predictive, personalized healthcare.
