Stimulate the Potential of Computer-assisted Surgery by Embedding Digital Twin Technology: Viewpoint
ABSTRACT
The value of virtual worlds and digital phenotypes has been demonstrated in several fields, and their application in the field of surgery should also be valued and explored. This viewpoint describes why and how the deeper potential of computer-assisted surgery can be stimulated through the interaction and symbiosis between virtual and real space. It proposes to embed Digital Twin technology into all aspects of computer-assisted surgery rather than just for the surgical object, and then apply it to the whole process of patient treatment to recovery. Thus providing a more personalized, precise and predictable surgery.
