Healthcare providers can utilize advanced digital platform technologies to make the pursuit of precision medicine possible, practical, faster and more cost-effective. These technologies include:
As a complete dynamic “living” model of the human body and its constituent systems, the virtual twin enables new understanding and approaches to health diagnosis, prognosis, treatments and anticipation of future conditions. In pharmaceutical operations, a virtual twin helps healthcare providers quickly identify potential therapy candidates. For example, genetic engineering provides the basis for novel cell and gene therapy by identifying tumor genetic mutations.
Predictive analytics can be leveraged to find factors and risks associated with a therapeutic intervention or predict which patient would respond best to a treatment. This reduces the time needed to develop and optimize the processes and hardware to manufacture highly-customized novel therapies for smaller patient populations.
- Computational modeling and simulation
With a modular, predictive and digitalized approach, companies can improve outcomes in personalized prosthetics. Advances in realistic simulation and virtual modeling of the human limb are expediting key attributes of form, fit and comfort to be incorporated in fabricated prototypes.
By leveraging virtual 3D universes to simulate, optimize and rework processes before applying them in the real world, let’s see how these digital platform technologies can help companies deliver personalized medicine and healthcare to patients.
