This book centres on the topic of digital twins for superior healthcare decision support, as access is enabled to large volumes of multi-dimensional data such as patient’s electronic medical records, medical scans, and data. The reader learns about the possibility of a digital representation of analogous clinical cases built from data-driven models to represent and present relevant information and germane knowledge in context.

Together with cutting-edge technologies, the authors share the ability of data-driven models to offer more efficient clinical decision support. The authors take a three-prong approach in the study of digital twins, the positive contributions made in other industries, the different types of applications and the numerous benefits offered. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, such as machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms, are discussed in the context of digital twins in healthcare applications. By looking at digital twins it is possible to reduce workflow challenges and provide fast and precise diagnosis. This then demonstrates how digital twins therefore support superior clinical decision-making. Importantly, the authors identify critical success issues, including co-design and research, for the design, development, and deployment of suitable digital twins.

This book is written for the healthcare audience, professionals, physicians, medical administrators, managers, and IT practitioners. It also serves as a useful reference for senior-level undergraduate students and graduate students in health informatics and public health.
