Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to develop a framework for implementing digital twin in the healthcare industry. Several literatures were reviewed for this purpose and references were taken to construct the proposed framework. After defining the proposed framework, case studies in the healthcare sector were taken to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposal. The case studies that were chosen are closest to the implementation of the digital twin concept. From the analysis, it is observed that most of the components in the proposed framework are implemented, ensuring the robustness and efficiency of the proposal, as per the data collected for validation.
