The Application of Digital Twins to Biomedical Engineering Products

Digital Twins promises to vastly improve the efficiency, effectiveness and, most importantly, safety of biomedical engineering products. The Digital Twin, as shown in Figure 1 is comprised of three components. The first component is the physical product that needs to exist in our physical world. The second component is it’s digital twin that exists in digital space. The last component is a connection between the physical and the virtual, with the physical providing data from the physical world and the virtual world providing both data and information that can be used in the physical world to replace wasting resources.
