A survey of futurists by TATA Consulting Service and a network of colleagues with their expertise says digital twins will reshape society by 2035.
WHY IT IMPORTANT
TCS, a global IT services, consulting and business services organization, says its new research has analyzed when and how the digital twin will impact different sectors in the future. futures, including their potential and risks.
According to a statement from the company, the first TCS Digital Twindex surveyed key tech industry experts and experienced futurists who predict digital twins will revolutionize our community and way of life.
Twindex said study participants “believe that digital twins will be widely adopted in healthcare within the next six years” and 52% believe widespread adoption of twins Digitalization in the life sciences and healthcare will take place over the next three years.
However, 42% of survey respondents agree that it will be 10 years or more before full digital copies of the human body become “common”.
“This would be the most difficult feat to achieve,” the futurologists said.
TREND TO BIGGER WOMAN
In healthcare, the promise of digital twins is being able to make informed decisions after understanding how different care choices might actually affect patients in the future.
Care can be made more precise with detailed information from the digital copy.
NTT Research’s Health & Health Informatics Laboratory and Harvard University’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science have begun a three-year joint research project that they hope will reveal structural-functional relationships of the heart that may have been overlooked in history. classics of cardiovascular physiology.
The goal of the digital twin partnership is to design hearts through the development of a CV bio-digital twin model.
“There needs to be a close relationship between model builders, like MEI Labs, and organ owners,” said Kevin Kit Parker, professor of biological engineering and applied physics at Harvard. on a chip, like ourselves.” project.
ON PROFILE
“As several respondents mentioned, digital twins in healthcare can have a significant impact on people’s lives,” said Alexandra Whittington, TCS futurist.
“The digital twin that encompasses the entire healthcare ecosystem will enable holistic patient care.”
