Digital Twin in Healthcare: The Future of Personalized Treatment and Predictive Patient Care
Imagine a doctor being able to test several treatment options on a virtual version of a patient before prescribing medication. Instead of relying only on historical data and clinical experience, healthcare professionals could predict how an individual patient is likely to respond to treatment. This is the promise of digital twin technology in healthcare. Introduction Healthcare has entered an era where data is becoming as valuable as clinical expertise.

The challenge is no longer collecting this information but turning it into meaningful insights that improve patient outcomes. This is where digital twin in healthcare is gaining attention. Originally developed for industries such as aerospace and manufacturing, digital twin technology creates a vi...
