Accelerating Personalized Health With Healthcare Digital Twins

The following is a guest article by Steve Lazer, Global Healthcare & Life Sciences CTO at Dell Technologies. One rapidly advancing trend in healthcare and life sciences is the shift from inefficient, expensive physical models to digital models tested in the virtual world. This is especially critical when time to value and cost are of the essence, as in the case of a global pandemic. One way to address this challenge, is to create a digital replica of a physical system or environment, accumulate data with sensors and collectors to monitor performance, and identify anomalies and trends to predict problems before they occur. This is known as a digital twin. The concept of a digital twin is not a new one. In fact, it has been around for several decades. However, it is only in recent years that the technology has advanced to the point where it is practical and cost-effective to create digital twins of large, complex systems. With the rise of the internet of things (IoT), it has become much easier to collect the data needed to create a digital twin, and to use that data to optimize the performance of the physical or anatomical asset. In recent years, digital twin solutions have become increasingly popular across a wide range of industries, and Dell Technologies is one company that has been at the forefront of this trend, offering a range of digital twin solutions that can benefit businesses in numerous ways. A little more than a decade ago, the concept of digital twins in heal...
