In this workshop, we will explore the concept of digital twins for all healthcare professionals. Before delving into the specific applications and opportunities within each profession, we’ll examine the broad possibilities of this horizontal technology. Digital twins have the potential to revolutionise healthcare, and we'll consider the various ways this technology can be applied across different specialisations, whether medical or paramedical.
Healthcare professionals now have access to a staggering 500,000 devices and 2 million apps, providing endless possibilities for integrating these 'building blocks' into their practices. We’ll discuss how these components can be assembled to create various scenarios, each tailored to the protocols and needs of specific specialisations. For instance, even a simple Bluetooth water bottle could transform the client experience for a beautician, while remote monitoring tools could support bariatric doctors in tracking patient progress.
The potential applications are vast, from monitoring metabolites remotely to adjusting the vagus nerve using electrical fields, or tracking respiratory patterns and blood pressure overnight. The sheer volume of information and the diversity of use cases means that each technology must be adapted to suit the unique requirements of different healthcare fields.
Our workshop aims to provide a foundational understanding of digital twins to all healthcare operators, from doctors and fitness trainers to beauticians. Each participant will be able to explore this topic in a way that aligns with their specific expertise and training, gradually delving deeper into the details as needed. This technology can be applied in various ways, whether it's tracking water intake to alert oncologists or using smart devices for remote patient monitoring.
The possibilities are endless and continue to grow each day. Our goal is to help you navigate this evolving landscape and understand how to leverage these tools effectively in your practice.
