And yet, even greater potential exists. Research into use of

digital twins has been expanded to new areas of digital care,

including:

Medical device development: Regulators are

exploring the use of digital twins for modelling

personalized medical devices.

Disease modelling: Digital twins are being used to study

diseases such as Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis to better

understand treatment options and accelerate trial timelines.

Advanced understanding of the human body: Digital twins of

organs, a genome, or a single cell can be generated, allowing

researchers to experiment with innovative treatment and

surgical options.
