Revolutionizing Healthcare - Core Concepts: Digital Twins

Recording of the van der Schaar Lab's thirty-eight Revolutionizing Healthcare engagement session for clinicians which took place virtually on 5 November, 2024.

The session was led by Tim Schubert and Tim Oosterlinck, two visiting medical students at the van der Schaar Lab who were guiding the conversation.

In this session, we tell you all about the latest research in the field - Digital Twins - and explain how Digital Twins can be useful for individualised patient care and the optimisation of hospital workflows.

We define and explain Digital Twins, and discuss use cases in medicine and healthcare.

Prof Mihaela van der Schaar first introduced the basics of Digital Twins to bring everyone up to speed.

Then we moved on to a panel discussion to hear some brilliant minds who are at the forefront of bringing digital twins into the medical world, before opening up to questions from the audience.

We thank Dr Alexander Gimson (CCAIM), Dr Phyllis Thangaraj (Yale School of Medicine), Prof Radek Bukowski (University of Texas at Austin), and Prof Eoin McKinneky (CCAIM/University of Cambridge) for their participation.
