Background Although most digital twin (DT) applications for health care have emerged in precision medicine, DTs can potentially support the overall health care process. DTs (twinned systems, processes, and products) can be used to optimize flows, improve performance, improve health outcomes, and improve the experiences of patients, doctors, and other stakeholders with minimal risk. Objective This paper aims to review applications of DT systems, products, and processes as well as analyze the potential of these applications for improving health care management and the challenges associated with this emerging technology. Methods We performed a rapid review of the literature and reported available studies on DTs and their applications in health care management. We searched 5 databases for studies published between January 2002 and January 2022 and included peer-reviewed studies written in English. We excluded studies reporting DT usage to support health care practice (organ transplant, precision medicine, etc). Studies were analyzed based on their contribution toward DT technology to improve user experience in health care from human factors and systems engineering perspectives, accounting for the type of impact (product, process, or performance/system level). Challenges related to the adoption of DTs were also summarized. Results The DT-related studies aimed at managing health care systems have been growing over time from 0 studies in 2002 to 17 in 2022, with 7 published in 2021 (N=17 studies). The findings reported on applications categorized by DT type (system: n=8; process: n=5; product: n=4) and their contributions or functions. We identified 4 main functions of DTs in health care management including safety management (n=3), information management (n=2), health management and well-being promotion (n=3), and operational control (n=9). DTs used in health care systems management have the potential to avoid unintended or unexpected harm to people during the provision of health care processes. They also can help identify crisis-related threats to a system and control the impacts. In addition, DTs ensure privacy, security, and real-time information access to all stakeholders. Furthermore, they are beneficial in empowering self-care abilities by enabling health management practices and providing high system efficiency levels by ensuring that health care facilities run smoothly and offer high-quality care to every patient. Conclusions The use of DTs for health care systems management is an emerging topic. This can be seen in the limited literature supporting this technology. However, DTs are increasingly being used to ensure patient safety and well-being in an organized system. Thus, further studies aiming to address the challenges of health care systems challenges and improve their performance should investigate the potential of DT technology. In addition, such technologies should embed human factors and ergonomics principles to ensure better design and more successful impact on patient and doctor experiences.

“…The problem with these CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools is that their learning curve is very steep and require dozens of hours to properly use them [14]. It is also difficult to export files to AR engines like Unreal 7 or Unity 8 without the use of an other software. Usually, the exported object are opened in a DCC (Digital Content Creation) tool (Blender 9 for example) to be converted in a suitable format for AR engines.…”

In this paper, we present WAAT, an AR authoring tool dedicated to industrial environments. The interest of such a tool in an industrial context is to allow non-expert users to quickly create and dynamically modify 3D models of workstations, and also test the AR guidance placement. WAAT makes on-site authoring possible, which should really help to have an accurate 3D representation of assembly lines. The verification of AR guidance should also be very useful to make sure everything is visible and doesn't interfere with technical tasks. We deployed WAAT in an assembly line of an elm.leblanc/Bosch boiler factory to assess its features in an ecological context. We also made a comparison to another AR authoring tool to better estimate its advantages.

“…Within the Safety 4.0 framework [16], DT-assisted safety management systems can be implemented to help operators execute complex safety procedures, thus reducing risks and human errors. DT guidance can lead operators through safety tasks and provide them with real-time information regarding the contextual conditions [17]. This can reduce the costs and time required for service and maintenance, decrease oversights and mistakes, and increase safety [18,19].…”

Is Digital Twin Technology Supporting Safety Management? A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the Industry 4.0 era, digital tools applied to production and manufacturing activities represent a challenge for companies. Digital Twin (DT) technology is based on the integration of different “traditional” tools, such as simulation modeling and sensors, and is aimed at increasing process performance. In DTs, simulation modeling allows for the building of a digital copy of real processes, which is dynamically updated through data derived from smart objects based on sensor technologies. The use of DT within manufacturing activities is constantly increasing, as DTs are being applied in different areas, from the design phase to the operational ones. This study aims to analyze existing fields of applications of DTs for supporting safety management processes in order to evaluate the current state of the art. A bibliometric review was carried out through VOSviewer to evaluate studies and applications of DTs in the engineering and computer science areas and to identify research clusters and future trends. Next, a bibliometric and systematic review was carried out to deepen the relation between the DT approach and safety issues. The findings highlight that in recent years, DT applications have been tested and developed to support operators during normal and emergency conditions and to enhance their abilities to control safety levels.
