Abstract

Digital Twins hold great potential to personalize clinical patient care, provided the concept is translated to meet specific requirements emerging from established clinical workflows. We present a general and unspecialized Digital Twin design combining knowledge graphs and ensemble learning to reflect the entire patient's clinical journey and assist clinicians in their decision-making. Such a design is predictive, modular, evolving, informed, interpretable and explainable, thus opening broad clinical applications.
