„Der ,Digitale Zwilling‘ kann die MS-Versorgung wirklich verbessern“

Prof. Dr Tjalf Ziemssen sees himself as a digital pioneer with a lot of passion. Alongside and parallel to his day-to-day work at the Centre for Clinical Neurosciences at the Neurological University Hospital Dresden, treating patients with multiple sclerosis, he and his team are developing the concept of the ‚digital MS twin‘. This can be thought of as a virtual copy, a digital dashboard or, in modern parlance, an avatar of a patient that is able to quantitatively describe the individual disease. The beauty of this is that a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analysis enables digital twins to uncover problems before they occur and optimise processes.
