Abstract

A huge amount of data needs to be integrated and processed in the field of personalised medicine. In this case, the authors propose a solution that relies on the creation of digital twins. These are high resolution models of individual patients who have been computationally treated with thousands of drugs in order to find the drug that is most suitable for them. Digital twins could improve the proactiveness and individualization of healthcare services. It possesses the capability to identify irregularities and evaluate health risks prior to the onset or manifestation of a disease through the use of prediction algorithms and real-time data. Enormous databases of medical records biological and genomic data interconnected around the world by harnessing the power of super computers provides us the knowledge to create digital twins of yourself and using your data to improve the network for others after you who tend to have diseases that happen together based on similar gene expression or due to unprovoked side effects of simultaneous drug administration.

2. Real Time Monitoring Of Patient’S Health In Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is caused due to damage in the metabolism and this could be due to various lifestyle and genetic conditions. In order to reverse this diabetes we have to fix the root cause of the problem that is fix the damaged metabolism, this was scientifically established in the year 2011 by Dr .Roy Taylor. On the contrary, it is not easy to fix this metabolism the reason being it varies with what you eat, how you sleep and how you breathe and the extent of physical activity. It varies with time of the day, age and it is highly intractable. With digital twin it became possible to get a complete picture of your metabolic health and hence fix the damages.

The digital twin of your body is built with 174 health markers and 3000 plus data points that are collected everyday using wearable sensors. These are FDA approved high quality sensors. This continuous glucose monitoring device is fixed on your arm and it is non-invasive, it is very safe and convenient to handle. This patch measures your blood sugar every 15 minutes without the need for fingerprints. This helps us understand the factors that are impacting the blood sugar level, whether it is food, sleep, or activity. This helps us create a cost and effect relationship between your blood sugars and these parameters.
