Episode 62: Your Digital Twin: How AI Physiological Avatars Are Revolutionizing Medicine
from AI-Ignited · host Elif Başer
Today on AI Ignited, host Elif Baser sits down with Ece Cirpan to explore the groundbreaking world of physiological avatars — AI-powered digital twins of the human body that could transform the future of healthcare. From virtual hearts and predictive cancer models to surgery simulations and personalized treatment planning, this episode dives into how artificial intelligence is helping researchers create patient-specific models of organs and biological systems. Together, they discuss pioneering work from institutions such as the Mayo Clinic, MIT, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and the Living Heart Project, while examining the ethical questions surrounding medical data, algorithmic bias, and the future of predictive medicine. Could your future doctor test treatments on your digital twin before treating you in real life? This episode explores the science making that possibility real
