Mapping the future of medicine through digital twins
Abstract
Digital twins are rapidly gaining popularity in medicine and the health sciences, as they offer not merely a new method but a versatile paradigm capable of addressing a wide range of healthcare challenges. In this paper, we provide a focused survey of these developments and highlight promising approaches across several fields, including general health systems, cardiology, oncology, and mental health. We also discuss the key challenges and future directions for general medical digital twin systems.
