Digital Twins: For Superior Clinical Decision Making [Hardcover]

This book centres on the topic of digital twins for superior healthcare decision support, as access is enabled to large volumes of multi-dimensional data such as patients electronic medical records, medical scans, and data.?

For decades, the digital representation of objects and entities has been a crucial field of research in computer science as well as application domains. Dynamic technological progress boosts the relevance by moving from modelling and instantiation towards realistically portrayed digital twins, e.g., by big data and artificial intelligence. Actually, the highest prospective impact of digital twins is anticipated in business and healthcare. Digital twins of products, machines, facilities and human beings will revolutionize the way we create value, for businesses as well as particularly for health providers and patients. This book is an eye-opener to that future.

Digital twins are increasingly relevant in the age of personalized medicine. Exploration of the effects of medicines avoids the potential of debilitating side effects and promotes individual health. This book can be expected to have a major impact.

This book could not have come at a more opportune time. As providers struggle to raise clinical quality, lower costs, and accomplish this with fewer human resources, technology can help achieve this. Although NASA launched the digital twin effort, the time has come for it to land in healthcare.
