Biological and digital twin technologies aim to develop new solutions for the diagnosis, monitoring and therapy of high social impact diseases. Through a data mining approach combined with bioengineering techniques, researchers will develop digital and biological models, i.e. "digital twins" of patients and "biological twins" of organs/tissues, paving the way to the development of new tools, towards a more personalized healthcare. Moreover, the monitoring of in vitro models is becoming an issue especially when survival of Organoids from patients its crucial to proper test different therapies. In addition, assessing complex models as biological barriers models is quite complex and time consuming. In this view, integration of sensors and biosensors for continuous or spot monitoring without altering the cells’ life is a crucial aspect.
The symposium topic is related to the project D³-4HEALTH (Digital Driven Diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutics for sustainable Health care) in the frame of PNRR-PNC.
The symposium will cover and discuss the most recent outcomes in this field, future perspective and limiting issues to overcome for practical applications.
