您不能为自己的健康付出代价。但是,您肯定可以增加许多疾病的成本 - 从痛苦和痛苦的个人生活方式到疾病福利和医疗保健系统的社会成本。


It's tempting to think the answer lies in developing increasingly complex treatments. But we cannot outrun basic human demographic trends such as aging populations, higher disease burdens and a growing global middle class. Access to healthcare is already unfair – so imagine what it will be like in 10–20 years' time. Something has to change.


医疗保健的未来需要建立在疾病的早期发现方面 - 理想情况下,甚至在出现任何症状之前。但这说起来容易做起来难。您怎么知道要做哪些测试?何时?定期彻底的检查仅适用于有能力支付的富人。而且,即使到那时,两次检查之间可能会出现几个月的疾病。


答案可能在于数字双技术。如果我们每个人都有自己的虚拟代表,包括我们所有的器官,以数字人的双胞胎的形式进行,可以不断地监测虚拟的“存在”以检测最早的疾病迹象,并自动提醒医疗保健系统 - 停止大多数人 - 停止大多数疾病疾病中的疾病。


Digital twins have already been widely deployed in manufacturing for continuous monitoring of equipment and simulation of various scenarios, such as wear and tear or different environments. Complete digital twins of aeroplane turbines, for example, are continuously fed with real-time sensory data from the actual turbines. This enables much better maintenance planning and can even predict when a turbine is likely to break down.


现在,注意到在医疗保健中使用数字双技术。它有望根据个人的独特基因组成,解剖学和行为等因素更容易个性化医疗治疗。该技术还可以解锁对医疗设备的更准确监控,甚至可以建模医疗保健组织,以改善他们提供护理的方式。


But a crucial step is to move towards detecting diseases as early as possible – by building a digital human twin. This needs a wide range of sensors to capture a variety of data points such as digital (sound, image, etc.), biophysical (blood, saliva, etc.) and behavioural (emotional state, language, etc.). These data points then need to be aggregated into a dynamic digital human twin that can monitor your health and alert the healthcare system as soon as something changes.


您不必定期进行一系列昂贵的测试来确保您的健康,而是在数字双胞胎的背景下进行的一组量身定制的低分辨率,超便宜的测试。该技术将根据您的基因和潜在的健康状况为您选择正确的诊断测试的正确组合。这些背景测试将不断监视您的健康基线。如果检测到任何微小的更改,这将触发其他更具体的测试,以帮助医疗保健专业人员准确地确定可能发生的问题 - 并尽早进行干预。


Digital human twins may sound like science fiction – but we actually already have all the right ingredients today.


我们看到了所有类型数据的爆炸,例如,数字保健工具和消费者生物技术的兴起,廉价的计算能力以及机器学习中的一些令人难以置信的进步。监管机构还注意到这些趋势,并越来越多地推动现实世界数据和认可软件解决方案。例如,国际医疗设备监管机构论坛已经创建了一个监管框架软件作为医疗设备。不过,最重要的是,人们想要更好的医疗保健解决方案,并越来越多地将自己的健康管理掌握在自己的手中。


So we have all the ingredients, it's now a question of putting them together to build a dynamic digital human twin. A number of companies are already working on various aspects of this brave new world – with Hewlett Packard Enterprise creating digital models of the brain, for example, and Philips modeling the heart.


当然,任何数字人物双胞胎都需要在临床上进行验证,然后才能将其推广到医疗保健系统。证明临床实用性也将有助于推动报销,因为早期发现几乎总是比治疗后期疾病便宜。


赌注很高 - 早期发现疾病有可能挽救无数生命并大大降低医疗费用。数字人的双胞胎将帮助我们所有人不必担心我们生活中最重要的事情 - 我们自己的健康和我们所爱的人。


正确的数字人双胞胎方法还将使所有人更容易获得医疗保健。越来越多的全球采用智能手机将使我们能够免费获得数十亿人,可以自由获得低分辨率的数字人双胞胎,这些人双胞胎将不断监测其健康。当他们的健康开始改变时,人们可以将人们融入相关的医疗保健系统和/或接受数字人双胞胎建议并由其医疗保健系统付费的更高分辨率组合测试。


Other benefits of digital human twins include the ability to simulate how people are going to respond to certain treatments – helping with drug development. They will also provide new insights into human biology and, through testing different biomarkers, we will be able to increase our understanding, which will also help with drug development as well as treatment.


总而言之,我们可以期待数字双胞胎诊断的新时代的曙光,该时代将改善我们所有人的健康。
