AI Contract Overview
The Virtual-Integrated Twin for Autonomous Lifesaving (VITAL) program, solicited by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), seeks innovative solutions for creating continuously updating digital twin models of the cardiovascular system. These models are designed to integrate patient-specific data with biological physics to simulate real-time clinical interventions and predict outcomes before any actual treatment is applied. The program aims to pioneer a shift in medical care from reactive to anticipatory intervention by enabling decision support grounded in causal, predictive models. This approach promises to enhance clinical outcomes across acute, chronic, and emergent healthcare scenarios by helping clinicians and autonomous systems evaluate treatment options effectively and reliably. Amendment 1 to the solicitation clarifies the deadline for submission of proposal abstracts as well as the specific requirements for the 7-page proposal abstract section. The solicitation details important dates, including the response deadline of June 25, 2026. DARPA, through this solicitation under NAICS code 541714, is calling for proposals that define when various modeling techniques—such as mechanistic digital twins, reduced-order models, and data-driven inference—are dependable and actionable in clinical settings. The program is managed by Dr. Roozbeh Jafari at DARPA's Biological Technologies Office, with contact and further information accessible via the official solicitation portal.

Full Description
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative approaches to address challenges in developing continuously updating digital twin models of the cardiovascular system that combine patient data with biological physics to simulate in real time possible interventions and to predict their outcomes before actual intervention on a patient. The VITAL program will establish a foundation for causal, prediction-driven decision support in medicine, enabling clinicians and future autonomous systems to evaluate treatment options before they are applied. By defining when mechanistic digital twins, reduced-order models, and data-driven inference are reliable and actionable, VITAL will shift medical care from reactive assessment to anticipatory intervention. This capability has the potential to improve outcomes across acute, chronic, and emergent clinical settings.
