What they are, How they’re used, and Challenges to be addressed
Key Takeaways
Digital twins provide more dynamic models than conventional simulations and will provide valuable tools for precision medicine. Conventional models and simulations provide a snapshot of a system rather than a real-time, dynamic model powered by sensor data and AI. Digital twins can couple statistical and mechanistic modeling fueled by real-time data flows from sensors that can respond to changes in behavior, therapies and overall patient status.
Digital twins have similar bias and ethical issues as AI in general. The same issues that have emerged with AI models in clinical decision support or bias from sensors that are less accurate on darker skins tones can impact digital twins...
