Digital twins in dermatology, current status, and the road ahead.

ABSTRACT: Digital twins, innovative virtual models synthesizing real-time biological, environmental, and lifestyle data, herald a new era in personalized medicine, particularly dermatology. These models, integrating medical-purpose Internet of Things (IoT) devices, deep and digital phenotyping, and advanced artificial intelligence (AI), offer unprecedented precision in simulating real-world physical conditions and health outcomes. Originating in aerospace and manufacturing for system behavior prediction, their application in healthcare signifies a paradigm shift towards patient-specific care pathways. In dermatology, digital twins promise enhanced diagnostic accuracy, optimized treatment plans, and improved patient monitoring by accommodating the unique complexities of skin conditions. However, a co
