In medicine, the concept of digital twin is used to describe the use of individual-specific computer models for the prevention, prediction, diagnosis and treatment of a disease, as well as the optimization and personalization of intervention options. It provides a patient-specific means to answer therapeutic questions, from the discovery of new therapies to the prediction of the effect of a proposed therapeutic intervention and optimization of care. This session will explore how digital twins can improve healthcare and the main hurdles to their development and acceptance. Learn how digital twins can directly benefit patients by allowing for personalized treatment.
