Digital twins of human organs are here. They’re set to transform medical treatment. The models can be used to plan surgeries and in the future could be used to help trial new drugs.

Machine learning and surrogate modelling significantly reduced simulation time, enabling personalised cardiac models to be ...

As these differences often aren’t represented in clinical data, digital twin hearts can help device manufacturers conduct trials across more diverse populations than they could with human trials ...

Doctors can create a “digital twin” of your heart and other organs to reduce guesswork during surgery. The technology may transform health care.

India’s largest IT services provider is building a digital twin of the heart of American marathoner Des Linden, who will participate in the New York City Marathon on 5 November.

Others are creating digital representations of human organs for the same purpose. Such digital twins can be extensively modeled, and can potentially be used to run clinical trials in silico.

There is no doubt that digital twin technology could revolutionize research into the human body, as well as manufacturing, design, city planning, and a host of other conceivable use cases.

For example, digital twins are now being used in conjunction with AI to model diseases and human organs, monitor major infrastructure projects, analyze IT infrastructure, and much more.

While the idea might sound outlandish, it's not altogether unprecedented. Researchers have suggested, "it is possible to construct [a] Human Digital Twin," but there's still "a long way to go ...

This is the first of a six-part series on how AI is changing medical research and treatments. The heart in front of me beats and moves like a human organ, but has no blood flowing through it, nor ...
