Digital patient model reduces costs and helps personalized treatment
New perspectives for the healthcare industry: An effective limitation of healthcare expenditures is urgently needed due to the demographic development and the enormous shortage of skilled workers. Together with six other Fraunhofer institutes, Fraunhofer IGD therefore developed the digital twin. It supports medical professionals in defining the best possible and most cost-efficient treatment. In addition to selecting an optimal therapy, the solution also reduces treatment time and costs.
Users can access AI-based analyses, for example of medical publications, in the digital patient model and view the guidelines for treatment as well as the costs incurred for the treatment options. In the cohort module, individual patient information is related to data from similar disease courses - enabling treatment providers to identify which therapies work best in which cases. All information is presented in a concise dashboard.
