Digital twins to personalize medicine

Genome Med. 2019 Dec 31;12(1):4. doi: 10.1186/s13073-019-0701-3.

Abstract

Personalized medicine requires the integration and processing of vast amounts of data. Here, we propose a solution to this challenge that is based on constructing Digital Twins. These are high-resolution models of individual patients that are computationally treated with thousands of drugs to find the drug that is optimal for the patient.
