Abstract

Personalized medicine requires the integration and processing of vast amounts of data. Here, we propose a solution to this challenge that is based on constructing Digital Twins. These are high-resolution models of individual patients that are computationally treated with thousands of drugs to find the drug that is optimal for the patient.

Figures

Fig. 1 The digital twin concept for personalized medicine. a An individual patient has a local sign of disease (red). b A digital twin of this patient is constructed in unlimited copies, based on computational network models of thousands of disease-relevant variables. c Each twin is computationally treated with one or more of the thousands of drugs. This results in digital cure of one patient (green). d The drug that has the best effect on the digital twin is selected for treatment of the patient

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
