Digital Twins in Health Care: Clinical, Ethical and Legal Perspectives

Digital Twins have advanced various fields in engineering for decades and are now entering clinical care, posing several critical challenges.

A digital twin, built of data from a patient and the environment, aims to mimic the structure and behavior of the physical patient, is  dynamically updated with new data, and seeks to make predictions about the patient and inform decisions.  But how should such digital entities be regulated, and how do and will they affect clinicians, clinical decisions, and patients?

This multi-disciplinary workshop brings together leading experts – data scientists, clinicians, ethicists, legal scholars and others – to explore these complex and growing cutting edge clinical, ethical and legal questions.

This event is part of the Frontiers in Data Science and AI initiative at the Data Science Institute, Columbia University. View the agenda and speakers here.
