Ethical and Quality of Care-Related Challenges of Digital Health Twins in Care Settings for Older Adults: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital health twins (DHTs) have been evolving with their diverse applications in medicine, particularly in care settings for older adults, in response to the increasing demands of older adults. Despite its numerous benefits, the optimal implementation of DHTs has faced several challenges, particularly in terms of ethics and quality of care. Given the continuous rise in the need for such care and the evident potential for DHTs to meet these needs, this review seeks to identify and address the gaps in research knowledge to enhance DHT implementation.

Objective

The review aims to compile and synthesize the best available evidence regarding the issues associated with quality of care, the ethical implications of DHTs, and the strategies undertaken to overcome those ch
