The Power of Digital Twins

Digital twins are highly specific, data-driven simulations of existing systems that have the potential to tackle societal problems. They combine personalized data and powerful mathematical models to create dynamic and evolving models of physical systems. Digital twins have numerous applications, including optimizing aircraft maintenance and flight operations in the airline industry, monitoring and maintaining bridges and other infrastructure, increasing energy efficiency in buildings, and guiding medical assessment and personalized treatment. However, creating digital twins for complex systems is challenging due to the scales involved and the need for predictive physics-based models.
