Abstract
Objective (study question): There is an increasing need for
preventive health care as well as precise diagnosis and tailored
treatment of different diseases in recent years. Providing customized
treatment for each patient and maximizing accuracy and efficiency are
main goals of a good healthcare system. The digital twin technology
along with Industry 4.0 is being implemented in different industries
nowadays. in many countries. It is showing significant improvements by
maximizing efficiency, accuracy and reducing wastage in the system. It
is also being evaluated and being started in the field of healthcare and
the medical industry. This technology can offer innovative solutions for
precise diagnosis, preventive health care and personalized treatments.
Though there are challenges in data collection, data integration and
accurate simulation at this stage, it is speculated that the digital
twin will have an increasing foot fall and will be a new platform for
health management systems and the medical industry. This article
proposes a framework and configuration for using digital twin technology
along with Industry 4.0 in health care applications. data
sources/study setting (w/ hospital/institution setting anonymized),
study design, data collection/extraction methods: A
case study of this technology was also conducted by applying it on a
human being and his health condition has been monitored online by using
industry 4.0 technology i.e. using IOT sensors and collecting data on
web real-time basis. principal findings: It is observed that
preventive health care is becoming easy and accurate on a real-time
basis . These data would be analyzed and conclusion can be drawn
regarding the health condition of the patient and appropriate treatment
can be given to him. Conclusion: It is obvious that in future,
the generations to come will see the digital twin for every human being.
As soon as a baby is born, its digital twin will be in cyber space and
its healthcare will be looked after with the aid of this technology till
its death. But the main challenge will be the privacy of people if it is
implemented on a large scale.
