Medical Digital Twin: A Review on Technical Principles and Clinical Applications

The usage of digital twins (DTs) is growing across a wide range of businesses. The health sector is one area where DT use has recently increased. Ultimately, the concept of digital health twins holds the potential to enhance human existence by transforming disease prevention, health preservation, diagnosis, treatment, and management. Big data's explosive expansion, combined with ongoing developments in data science (DS) and artificial intelligence (AI), might greatly speed up research and development by supplying crucial data, a strong cyber technical infrastructure, and scientific know-how. The field of healthcare applications is still in its infancy, despite the fact that there are several DT programs in the military and industry. This review's aim is to present this cutting-edge technology, which focuses on neurology, as one of the most exciting new developments in the medical industry. Through innovative research and development in DT technology, we anticipate the formation of a global cooperative effort among stakeholders to improve health care and the standard of living for millions of people globally.
