“…This has been largely attributed to limitations in computational power as the creation of a digital twin is a rigorous endeavor that requires a great deal of processing power [ 39 , 40 ]. In addition, methods of acquiring the data of an entire body using smart sensors are limited [ 41 , 42 ]. Common methods of creating digital models of human bodies typically involve the use of an MRI or cameras [ 43 ], which would not be sufficient for creating a digital twin that needs to update in real time with the physical counterpart.…”

Digital twins are a relatively new form of digital modeling that has been gaining popularity in recent years. This is in large part due to their ability to update in real time to their physical counterparts and connect across multiple devices. As a result, much interest has been directed towards using digital twins in the healthcare industry. Recent advancements in smart wearable technologies have allowed for the utilization of human digital twins in healthcare. Human digital twins can be generated using biometric data from the patient gathered from wearables. These data can then be used to enhance patient care through a variety of means, such as simulated clinical trials, disease prediction, and monitoring treatment progression remotely. This revolutionary method of patient care is still in its infancy, and as such, there is limited research on using wearables to generate human digital twins for healthcare applications. This paper reviews the literature pertaining to human digital twins, including methods, applications, and challenges. The paper also presents a conceptual method for creating human body digital twins using wearable sensors.
