Under de senaste åren har trångboddheten minskat i de europeiska länderna, men i Sverige har trångboddheten istället ökat, framförallt i storstäderna. Det finns ett stående problem i det svenska samhället gällande trångboddhet som måste undersökas vidare, och hur dessa boenden påverkar konstruktionen av byggnaderna de bor i. Idag kan inomhusklimatet simuleras i datorprogram som WUFI Plus och IDA-IIn recent years overcrowding has decreased in European countries, but in Sweden overcrowding has increased, especially in the big cities. There is an ongoing problem in Swedish society regarding overcrowding that needs to be further investigated, and how these accommodations affect the design of the buildings they live in.

Many artificial systems simulate the physiological state of the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and its separate compartments. These systems have the biorelevant media and imitate the physical forces and transit times of the GIT compartments, however, they lack the food-related and within-compartmental regulations and thus issues with translation of the data obtained to clinics arise. We aimed
