#31 AI & Digital Twins: The Next Evolution for Personalised Medicine

In this episode of Dev and Doc, we deep dive into the world of Digital Twins. Popularised in engineering, we explore key concepts and ideas before looking to the future: how we can combine digital twins with today's powerful AI /GPT-based models (LLMs) and healthcare data to bring on a new revolution of healthcare to the world. This means the chance for every single person to create digital twins of themselves where they can understand their personal health, risks, disease trajectories, and treatment outcomes by simulating the future. This is the true promise of precision medicine for all. Crazy, right? Dev and Doc recently joined forces to build this exact vision in their start-up, Nuraxi. 🚀 Nuraxi is a deep-tech company focused on advancing health and precision medicine through artificial intelligence and digital twin technology. https://www.nuraxi.ai/ 👋 Hey!
