The role of Digital Twins in Health
Digital twins are a digital representation of the mirror world, such as objects, systems, or processes that can interact or are integrated in different environments and in different fields of application, such as health. The discussion of various characteristics associated with digital twins in health and their connection to a digital human model will be the main points of the talk. What connections exist between a digital twin and a digital human model, and how can these links be connected to health? What are the relationships that exist between the patient-centred twin and the digital twin in the context of health, and what functions do they play in terms of precision and personalised medicine? This presentation will cover all these aspects, bringing innovation and development to the field of digital health.
