Interesting to see how the concept of ‘digital twin’ is advances into new areas.

Hi @eduddy thanks for sharing - this is such a cool thing which sounds like Sci-Fi but actually it’s quite real and already has real-world implementations!
Our research group at the University of Auckland (ABI) has been leading underpinning (computational) anatomical and physiological modelling for more than 2 decades. Prof Peter Hunter (from ABI) has been the driving force for the Physiome project (https://physiomeproject.org/). Long story here: https://stories.auckland.ac.nz/creating-our-digital-twin/index.html
We’re also involved in a recent EU initiative to create digital twins (VITAL) - using healthcare data with AI but driven and enriched by multiscale models from molecule to man!

This stuff is so accurate and validated that clinical trials can be conducted without any animal or human studies completely in-silico!
