Digital twins and Big AI: the future of truly individualised healthcare
Peter V. Coveney, Roger Highfield, Eric Stahlberg, Mariano Vázquez
Abstract
The integration of physics-based digital twins with data-driven artificial intelligence—termed “Big AI”—can advance truly personalised medicine. While digital twins offer individual ‘healthcasts,’ accuracy and interpretability, and AI delivers speed and flexibility, each has limitations. Big AI combines their strengths, enabling faster, more reliable and individualised predictions, with applications from diagnostics to drug discovery. Above all, Big AI restores mechanistic insights to AI and complies with the scientific method.
