IT’IS Foundation – Innovative scientific research to shape the future for the safe and beneficial application of electromagnetic (EM) energy in health and information technologies.

Founded in 1999, activities at IT’IS encompass interconnected initiatives ranging from engineering to medicine – EM Research, the Virtual Population, and IT’IS for Health.

IT’IS is the master for evaluations of near-field EM emissions, including those near radiating structures or inside the human body, from static fields to millimeter wave frequencies.

The IT’IS Virtual Population is the best detailed and validated library of computational human anatomical phantoms available for in silico device design, optimization, and evaluation

To bridge the gap from bench to bedside, IT’IS focuses on multi-physics, multi-scale simulation methods to optimize individual diagnostic, treatment planning, and therapeutic techniques

IT'IS also applies its knowhow and infrastructure to provide customized research solutions to academia, the wireless/medical device industries, governments, and regulatory bodies.

IT’IS Foundation Zurich Switzerland -
A Member of Z43.

IT’IS Releases New Online Fluid Properties Database and Publishes References Used to Determine Database Values

The IT’IS Foundation announces the release of a new database of fluid properties to complement the existing material parameters database. The new database compiles values on temperature-dependent viscosity, density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity values for specific fluids. Also newly available are tabulated lists of the references used to determine the values in both the material parameters and fluid properties databases. The new format of the reference list links each database entry to a pdf of the reference(s) used to generate the value.
