"A digital twin is a simulation of an object, system, process, or person. The ability to make and use digital twins is one of the many new opportunities for business that didn't exist for most businesses before the recent LLM-based AI revolution. I detailed in this space early last year how detailed twins of systems, such as factories or airplanes, can boost efficiency and save lives."
"One promising area for digital twins of specific people is in the realm of personalized medicine. Normally, medical interventions are one-size-fits-all, even though human biology varies greatly from one person to the next. Digital twin tech is already showing potential in improving individualized diabetes management. With a digital twin AI, doctors could create a dynamic, real-time virtual representation of a patient. They can then safely experiment with adjustments to treatment plans, including medication, diet, and lifestyle recommendations on the twin to find the best outcome."
Digital twins simulate objects, systems, processes, or people. Recent LLM-based AI advances created new business opportunities for detailed twins of systems like factories and airplanes, boosting efficiency and saving lives. Digital twin replicas of individuals enable personalized medicine by producing dynamic, real-time virtual patient representations for safe experimentation with treatment adjustments. Early applications show promise in individualized diabetes management and optimization of medication, diet, and lifestyle recommendations. The approach could reduce overprescription, addiction risk, and harmful drug reactions and supports P4 medicine: Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory. Digital twins also serve as faster, cheaper research tools, though drawbacks exist.
