CPH S3 E4 | Digital Twin

How can the digital replication of humans transform medicine and biomechanics, and where do we draw the line on personal data use? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the transformative power of digital twins in medicine and biomechanics, exploring both its groundbreaking potential and the delicate balance it demands between innovation and ethical considerations.In this episode, we welcome Professor Jacqueline Alderson, Tech Director of the UWA Tech and Policy Lab, to delve into the intricate realm of digital twins and their far-reaching implications. Together, we unravel how these virtual replicas of humans are revolutionizing surgical planning, enabling personalized treatment strategies, and deepening our understanding of human movement.While the advancements brought about by digital twins are undoubtedly remarkable, they also raise significant ethical and privacy concerns. We dissect these concerns, examining how we can strike a harmonious equilibrium between the benefits of advanced data use and the protection of individual rights.Join Professor Alderson and Copenhagen Legal/Tech Lab Director Alexandra Andhov at the University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Law, as they navigate the complex ethical landscape of digital twins, prompting a critical conversation about the future of this technology and its societal impact.This episode is generously supported by the Carlsberg Foundation and Independent Research Fund Denmark.
