Pharmaphorum: Digital twins in healthcare and drug discovery: From idea to success stories
The term "digital twins" has its origins in engineering and computer science, where it refers to a virtual replica of a physical object or system. Simply put, it is a sophisticated, dynamic, real-time digital representation of a physical entity created using advanced computational models. The sole purpose of these models is to simulate how an object or process would change under a specific scenario. The aerospace industry has been particularly successful in deploying digital twins, where real-time data is fed…
