A Revolution of Personalized Healthcare: Enabling Human Digital Twin with Mobile AIGC
This work addresses personalized healthcare by integrating mobile AIGC with human digital twins, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing mobile AIGC and HDT concepts.
The paper tackles the challenge of enabling human digital twins for personalized healthcare by proposing a mobile AIGC-driven system architecture, and it demonstrates effectiveness through an experimental study in a virtual physical therapy teaching platform.
Mobile Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC) technology refers to the adoption of AI algorithms deployed at mobile edge networks to automate the information creation process while fulfilling the requirements of end users. Mobile AIGC has recently attracted phenomenal attentions and can be a key enabling technology for an emerging application, called human digital twin (HDT). HDT empowered by the mobile AIGC is expected to revolutionize the personalized healthcare by generating rare disease data, modeling high-fidelity digital twin, building versatile testbeds, and providing 24/7 customized medical services. To promote the development of this new breed of paradigm, in this article, we propose a system architecture of mobile AIGC-driven HDT and highlight the corresponding design requirements and challenges. Moreover, we illustrate two use cases, i.e., mobile AIGC-driven HDT in customized surgery planning and personalized medication. In addition, we conduct an experimental study to prove the effectiveness of the proposed mobile AIGC-driven HDT solution, which shows a particular application in a virtual physical therapy teaching platform. Finally, we conclude this article by briefly discussing several open issues and future directions.
