Virtual Twin Experiences in Life Sciences & Healthcare
A new way to understand the human body
In the life sciences & healthcare sector, a digital twin is a data-driven computer model that establishes a virtual representation of something organic – such as the human body – or inorganic, like a medical device or manufacturing line for pharmaceuticals.
The virtual world is used to allow for unlimited testing of a product or process, taking data from the real world to create a constant cycle of improvement.
In the organic world, this helps researchers and practitioners create a digital medical system with a detailed view of each patient’s anatomy, biology and life exposure.
Manufacturers of medical devices or pharmaceuticals can apply virtual twins to develop new or improve existing products and therapies used to save or improve human life, as well as the equipment that produces those goods. Innovative ideas can be sustainably developed because concepts can be virtually simulated and evaluated before physical production.
A digital twin also has application in healthcare facilities; a digital replica of a hospital can help create a safer, more secure environment for employees and patients.
With such a positive contribution to sustainable innovation, business leaders are increasingly recognizing the power of digital twin technology to advance digital transformation and innovation.
How is virtual twin technology addressing Life Sciences & Healthcare industry challenges?
Combining virtual technologies, analytics and artificial intelligence creates the conditions to revolutionize healthcare.

7th International Symposium of the Virtual Twin of Human & Living Heart
The Living Heart Project has opened our eyes to the potential of virtual twins for healthcare, connecting global data and knowhow into 3D realistic human simulations of the human heart.
Watch videos from our most recent symposium that brought together leaders from academia, the medical device and pharmaceutical industries, clinicians and regulators to share advances in the use of simulation for human body for development of new treatments and precision patient care.
You’ll discover the key challenges and synergies needed to create a roadmap towards digitalizing the human body for the a future of preventative, precision and personalized health.
Our mission now is to systematically create virtual twins for the entire human body and usher in a new era of medical innovations.
