Recently digital twins technology is on another goal. An artificial intelligence (AI)–based program uses all the known data on a patient and their type of illness and creates a “twin” that can be used over and over to simulate disease progression, test treatments, and predict individual responses to therapies.
A digital twin is more than just a computer model or simulation because it copies a real-world person and relies on real-world data. Some digital twin programs also integrate new information as it becomes available. This technology holds promise for personalized medicine, drug discovery, developing screening strategies, and better understanding diseases.
