“…Efficient Computer Aided Modeling (CAM) and Virtual Reality (VR) will also be instrumental in this context. Jimenez et al [14] also advocated building digital twin technologies in medicine (see, for example, [15], [16] for a detailed description of medical cyber-physical systems). Kocabas et al [17] detailed such medical cyber-physical system considering the layers of data acquisition, data preprocessing, cloud system and action module.…”

Digital Twin: Values, Challenges and Enablers From a Modeling Perspective

A digital twin can be defined as an adaptive model of a complex physical system. Recent advances in computational pipelines, multiphysics solvers, artificial intelligence, big data cybernetics, data processing and management tools bring the promise of digital twins and their impact on society closer to reality. Digital twinning is now an important and emerging trend in many applications. Also referred to as a computational megamodel, device shadow, mirrored system, avatar or a synchronized virtual prototype, there can be no doubt that a digital twin plays a transformative role not only in how we design and operate cyber-physical intelligent systems, but also in how we advance the modularity of multi-disciplinary systems to tackle fundamental barriers not addressed by the current, evolutionary modeling practices. In this work, we review the recent status of methodologies and techniques related to the construction of digital twins. Our aim is to provide a detailed coverage of the current challenges and enabling technologies along with recommendations and reflections for various stakeholders.

Background COVID-19 has challenged the resilience of the health care information system, which has affected our ability to achieve the global goal of health and well-being. The pandemic has resulted in a number of recent cyberattacks on hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, the US Department of Health and Human Services, the World Health Organization and its partners, and others. Objective The aim of this review was to identify key cybersecurity challenges, solutions adapted by the health sector, and areas of improvement needed to counteract the recent increases in cyberattacks (eg, phishing campaigns and ransomware attacks), which have been used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in technology and people introduced through changes to working practices in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A scoping review was conducted by searching two major scientific databases (PubMed and Scopus) using the search formula “(covid OR healthcare) AND cybersecurity.” Reports, news articles, and industry white papers were also included if they were related directly to previously published works, or if they were the only available sources at the time of writing. Only articles in English published in the last decade were included (ie, 2011-2020) in order to focus on current issues, challenges, and solutions. Results We identified 9 main challenges in cybersecurity, 11 key solutions that health care organizations adapted to address these challenges, and 4 key areas that need to be strengthened in terms of cybersecurity capacity in the health sector. We also found that the most prominent and significant methods of cyberattacks that occurred during the pandemic were related to phishing, ransomware, distributed denial-of-service attacks, and malware. Conclusions This scoping review identified the most impactful methods of cyberattacks that targeted the health sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the challenges in cybersecurity, solutions, and areas in need of improvement. We provided useful insights to the health sector on cybersecurity issues during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other epidemics or pandemics that may materialize in the future.

“…Digital twins first appeared and played a role in industries of product and manufacturing design, and later emerged in industries such as aerospace (Liu et al 2020), automation (Talkhestani et al 2018), shipbuilding (Mondoro and Grisso 2019), healthcare (Jimenez et al 2020) and energy (Enders and Hoßbach 2019;O'Dwyer et al 2020). In recent years, with the rapid development of technologies and industries such as the Internet of Things(IoT) (Kaur et al 2020), big data (Tao et al 2018), cloud computing (Khatib et al 2019) and artificial intelligence(AI) (Kharchenko et al 2020), the construction basis of smart city has gradually evolved from the original static 3D modeling level towards the digital twin level that combines dynamic digital technology and static 3D model (Yan et al 2019), which forms a new concept that digital twin city assists smart city construction.…”

Digital twins are considered to be a new starting point for today’s smart city construction. This paper defines the concepts of digital twins and digital twin cities, discusses the relationship between digital twins and smart cities, analyzes the characteristics of smart cities based on digital twins, and focuses on the five main applications of smart cities based on digital twins. Finally, we discuss the future development of smart cities based on digital twins.
