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.

"For decades, the digital representation of objects and entities has been a crucial field of research in computer science as well as application domains. Dynamic technological progress boosts the relevance by moving from modelling and instantiation towards realistically portrayed digital twins, e.g., by big data and artificial intelligence. Actually, the highest prospective impact of digital twins is anticipated in business and healthcare. Digital twins of products, machines, facilities and human beings will revolutionize the way we create value, for businesses as well as particularly for health providers and patients. This book is an eye-opener to that future."Freimut Bodendorf, Professor, Friedrich Alexander University, Erlangen, Nuremberg, Germany
"Digital twins are increasingly relevant in the age of personalized medicine. Exploration of the effects of medicines avoids the potential of debilitating side effects and promotes individual health. This book can be expected to have a major impact."
Doug Vogel, PhD, AIS and AIDH Fellow
"This book could not have come at a more opportune time. As providers struggle to raise clinical quality, lower costs, and accomplish this with fewer human resources, technology can help achieve this. Although NASA launched the digital twin effort, the time has come for it to land in healthcare."
Duane F. Wisk, DO, MPH, FACOEM, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Warren Alpert School of Medicine, Brown University
"Digital Twins offers an innovative approach to modern healthcare delivery, where timely decision-making depends on numerous data sources, many of which are available in real time. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Digital Twin applications in healthcare, offering valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers interested in harnessing this technology to enhance healthcare delivery."
Wenny Rahayu, PhD, Professor and Dean of the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, La Trobe University

System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or the app PocketBook before downloading (see eBook Help).
- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
