Abstract

We introduce our approach towards development of Digital Twins in Healthcare for both ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke, in relation to aetiology and prevention, treatment, and disease progression. These models start their development as generic Digital Twins and in a series of steps are stratified to become fully patient-specific. The example of a Digital Twin in Healthcare for treatment of ischemic stroke is described, and an outlook on the need and applicability of such digital twin in relation to stroke is provided.
