Digital Twin technology is a concept borrowed from engineering.
A Digital Twin is a mathematical model that provides a virtual representation of a specific physical object and predicts its behavior at future time points.
The history of digital twins can be traced back to the 1960s when NASA began using simulators to model the Apollo missions. The concept of digital twins has evolved over time
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-world entity or process.
It is composed of the following three elements:
1) A physical entity in real space.
2) The digital twin in software form.
3) Data that links the first two elements together.
There has been a growing interest in exploring the capabilities of DT technology in various health-related domains.
