Listen to this episode to learn more about the concept of digital twins in healthcare.

Precision medicine has given rise to the idea of creating patients' digital twins. The successful development of digital twins of individual organs has set the stage for its development. However, the quantity and quality of data required to create a functional patient twin is an obstacle that is yet to be conquered, as are legislative and regulatory challenges.

Stay tuned to find out what a patient twin is, how it can be created and the benefits it could offer patients and medical practitioners. You’ll also learn more about the cloud-based software as a service, Noona, which can be seen as a first step towards a digital twin.
