AI-powered digital twin technology could transform how doctors understand and treat heart disease. But if the medical data used to build these virtual models overlook biological differences between women and men, the promise of truly personalised medicine may remain incomplete.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape how doctors study and treat heart disease. One of the most ambitious ideas is the \u201cdigital twin\u201d: a computer model built from a patient\u2019s medical data that allows researchers to simulate how a disease might develop and how treatments might work.<\/p>\n

In cardiology, these models combine medical imaging, clinical records and biological data to create a virtual version of the heart. In the future, doctors could potentially test treatment strategies on this digital model before applying them to the patient.<\/p>\n

But an important scientific question is emerging: What if the medical data used to build these models are missing important biological differences between women and men?<\/p>\n

As digital health technologies move closer to clinical practice, ensuring these tools reflect the full diversity of human biology is becoming increasingly important.<\/p>\n

In our research at Aix Marseille University on patient-specific computational models of inflammatory heart disease (MYOCAR3 funded by Civis Alliance), we are beginning to see how differences in immune responses between women and men could influence how these diseases develop and how they might appear in future digital models.<\/p>\n

The promise of digital twins in heart medicine<\/h2>\n

Digital twins are attracting growing attention across Europe as a way to advance precision medicine.<\/p>\n

Instead of treating patients based on average responses observed in large populations, researchers hope to build personalised models that capture the unique biological characteristics of each individual. Several European initiatives are exploring this approach.<\/p>\n
