How to use Digital Twins for the prevention and interception of diseases? Opportunities to pioneer and pilot in Finland?
Wed 12 June 2019 at 12:15–13:15
Finland Pavilion Stage (Conference area, Messukeskus)
This session will discuss in detail the usage of Digital Twins in the transition from Disease Care to Health Care. Due to the enormous amount of health data in digital format and the homogenous genomic background of Finnish people Finland offers a unique environment globally to develop, test and pilot Digital Twins in the prevention and interception of diseases. Digital twins are built on computer-based, or in silico, models that are fed individual and population data, and they will help define a trajectory for health/disease and identify transitions on that trajectory.
