Digital Twin generates not just a digital copy of a physical object but also helps automate the data and workflows of the object. Digital twins are virtual replicas of real-life objects and systems that can be monitored, studied and simulated in real-time to solve challenges and improve products and services.
Indiana Researcher team applying digital twins to one of medicine’s most complicated subjects cancer treatment. In an area where therapy and treatment were guided by patient past data, the technology can now be used to replicate the patient, creating individualized digital twins to more accurately assess and determine treatments. They are developing physics-based models of cancer and immune cells and treatments. The medical experts can then match the models to individual patient data.
Indiana have been significant strides in the use of digital twin technologies in industries like automotive and aerospace. However, the adoption of digital twins in the pharmaceutical industry has been slower due to more rigid regulations, he noted. It is gaining momentum, greatly enhanced by academic partnerships and cross-industry collaborations.
