| description | Digital twins have recently emerged in healthcare. They combine advances in cyber–physical systems, modelling and computation techniques, and enable a bidirectional flow of information between the physical and virtual entities. In respiratory medicine, progress in connected devices and artificial intelligence make it technically possible to obtain digital twins that allow real-time visualisation of a patient's respiratory health. Advances in respiratory system modelling also enable the development of digital twins that could be used to predict the effectiveness of different therapeutic approaches for a patient. For researchers, digital twins could lead to a better understanding of the gene–environment–time interactions involved in the development of chronic respiratory diseases. For clinicians and patients, they could facilitate personalised and timely medicine, by enabling therapeutic adaptations specific to each patient and early detection of disease progression. The objective of this review is to allow the reader to explore the concept of digital twins, their feasibility in respiratory medicine, their potential benefits and the challenges to their implementation. |
