Background Although most digital twin (DT) applications for health care have emerged in precision medicine, DTs can potentially support the overall health care process. DTs (twinned systems, processes, and products) can be used to optimize flows, improve performance, improve health outcomes, and improve the experiences of patients, doctors, and other stakeholders with minimal risk. Objective This paper aims to review applications of DT systems, products, and processes as well as analyze the potential of these applications for improving health care management and the challenges associated with this emerging technology. Methods We performed a rapid review of the literature and reported available studies on DTs and their applications in health care management. We searched 5 databases for studies published between January 2002 and January 2022 and included peer-reviewed studies written in English. We excluded studies reporting DT usage to support health care practice (organ transplant, precision medicine, etc). Studies were analyzed based on their contribution toward DT technology to improve user experience in health care from human factors and systems engineering perspectives, accounting for the type of impact (product, process, or performance/system level). Challenges related to the adoption of DTs were also summarized. Results The DT-related studies aimed at managing health care systems have been growing over time from 0 studies in 2002 to 17 in 2022, with 7 published in 2021 (N=17 studies). The findings reported on applications categorized by DT type (system: n=8; process: n=5; product: n=4) and their contributions or functions. We identified 4 main functions of DTs in health care management including safety management (n=3), information management (n=2), health management and well-being promotion (n=3), and operational control (n=9). DTs used in health care systems management have the potential to avoid unintended or unexpected harm to people during the provision of health care processes. They also can help identify crisis-related threats to a system and control the impacts. In addition, DTs ensure privacy, security, and real-time information access to all stakeholders. Furthermore, they are beneficial in empowering self-care abilities by enabling health management practices and providing high system efficiency levels by ensuring that health care facilities run smoothly and offer high-quality care to every patient. Conclusions The use of DTs for health care systems management is an emerging topic. This can be seen in the limited literature supporting this technology. However, DTs are increasingly being used to ensure patient safety and well-being in an organized system. Thus, further studies aiming to address the challenges of health care systems challenges and improve their performance should investigate the potential of DT technology. In addition, such technologies should embed human factors and ergonomics principles to ensure better design and more successful impact on patient and doctor experiences.

“…Digital twin in health (DTH) is a complicated medical simulation method that mixes the era with multidisciplinary, multi-tasking and multi-dimensional fashions to offer reliable, precise, and useful medical services [52]. On the other hand, IoRT can amalgamate medical equipment and the real human body.…”

In today's world, it is anticipated that DTw and IoRT will transform the idea of digital healthcare and advancement of it what was previously unknown. DTw is (physical or virtual) machines or computer-based models capable of mimicking or "twinning" the lives of actual entities such as objects, humans, or human-related features. Since the advent of digital and smart healthcare, the world has swiftly integrated several technologies in healthcare to support improved patient service, extend life expectancy, and lower healthcare expenses.DTw and IoRT are promising technologies and great improvements in this field. In recent years, the concepts of IoRT and DTw have captured the interest of the surgical sector. The flawless integration of data between a physical and virtual machine in either direction is the best way to conduct smart surgery. Artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, various kinds of robotic equipment, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are our pillars of completing the task. Using the DTw technological framework and IoRT infrastructure, this review paper proposes a comparative overview of traditional and IoRT collaborated DTwT and executes an adaptive perspective, opportunities, and challenges in the healthcare sector, namely surgical advances. This is an important addition to digital surgeries and to improve healthcare operations. Our literature review has sorted them according to research areas: the technological innovation, the prospective and opportunities we have, problems facing the surgical industry today and in the future, and offers an evaluation of the enabling technologies for the betterment of employing DTw and IoRT for the developing and secure surgical sector for both patients and doctors.INDEX TERMS Digital twin technology (DTwT), Internet of Robotic things (IoRT), surgery, Future surgical sector, Healthcare,
