The Use and Ethics of Digital Twins in Medicine


This work introduces both the concept and use cases of digital twins in medicine, frames the debate on their ethical, legal and societal implications through the lens of related health digital technologies, machine learning and personalized medicine, and maps ethical challenges stemming from those. Finally, the authors lay out how digital twins may change and challenge the future practice of medicine.
