Digital Twins in Health Care: Ethical Implications of an Emerging Engineering Paradigm

Personalized medicine uses fine grained information on individual persons, to pinpoint deviations from the normal. ‘Digital Twins’ in engineering provide a conceptual framework to analyse these emerging data-driven health care practices, as well as their implications for therapy, preventative care and human enhancement. Digital Twins stands for a specific engineering paradigm, where individual physical artefacts are paired with a digital model...
