Natalia Barnaova: Digital Twins in Medicine, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Healthcare is at the dawn of a new era, and digital twins are playing a key role. The book Digital Twins in Medicine: Precision, Personalisation and the Future of Healthcare explores the ground-breaking possibilities of this technology, which has the ability to radically change the way we diagnose, treat and monitor disease. From personalised medicine, where treatment plans are tailored to the genetic and physiological characteristics of each patient, to precision surgery that minimises risk using virtual models of the human body, digital twins offer unprecedented precision in modern medicine. In oncology in particular, the technology enables the simulation of tumours to test the best therapeutic approaches and precisely monitor disease progression, which could revolutionise personalised cancer treatment. This book clearly explains how chronic diseases can be monitored in real time and how clinical trials can be revolutionised through virtual patient models. But alongside the opportunities, there are also challenges: Data protection, ethical issues and technical hurdles must be overcome to realise the full potential of this technology. In an increasingly digitalised world, this book shows how digital twins can shape the future of medicine and contribute to more precise, efficient and patient-centred healthca
