Digital Twin Models for Personalised and Predictive Medicine in Ophthalmology

Abstract

This article explores the integration of Digital Twins in Systems and Predictive Medicine, focusing on eye diagnosis. By utilizing the Digital Twin models, the proposed framework can support early diagnosis and predict evolution after treatment by providing customized simulation scenarios. Furthermore, a structured architectural framework comprising five levels has been proposed, integrating Digital Twin, Systems Medicine, and Predictive Medicine for managing eye diseases. Based on demographic parameters, statistics were performed to identify potential correlations that may contribute to predispositions to glaucoma. With the aid of a dataset, a neural network was trained with the goal of identifying glaucoma. This comprehensive approach, based on statistical analysis and Machine Learning, is a promising method to enhance diagnostic accuracy and provide personalized treatment approaches.
