Digital Twins for Healthcare

Design, Challenges and Solutions

A digital twin is a digital replication of a living or non-living physical entity. When data is transmitted seamlessly, it bridges the physical and virtual worlds, thus allowing the virtual entity to exist simultaneously with the physical entity. A digital twin facilitates the means to understand, monitor, and optimize the functions of the physical entity, as well as it provides continuous feedback. Therefore, a digital twin can be used to improve quality of life and wellbeing of citizens in smart cities as well as the virtualization of industrial processes.

 This book aims to establish the state-of-art in the specification, design, creation, deployment and exploitation of digital twins’ technologies for healthcare and wellbeing.
