MeDiTwin

With the advent of health apps, smartphones and biosensors, patients are increasingly taking ownership of their own healthcare. The medical digital twin is designed to help patients take responsibility for managing their individual health data. The data that resides centrally in the digital twin allows patients to keep an eye on their health and to readily and securely determine who is allowed to handle which of their data sets. In order to meet the requirements for secure mapping of patient data, the digital twin must be flexible enough to ensure data coherence between different sub-twins of the same patient. These sub-twins can summarize the data of a specific disease or map a specific organ. This can improve patients’ understanding of certain medical processes. Medical staff also benefit from the clear compilation of relevant data that a patient is able to share with them for purposes of medical care.
