    Digital twins, digital triplets, and explainable AI, in precision health
    (IOS Press, 2024) Talukder, A.K.; Sarbadhikari, S.N.; Selg, E.; Haas, R.E.
    Precision health is about preventing, predicting, and treating diseases precisely with the principles of the right care at the right time for the right patient. Precision health is expected to help increase health equity in general. Digital Twins and Digital Triplets can significantly help in meeting the goals of precision health. In this chapter we present digital twins and digital triplets and their roles in realizing precision health. Digital twin is the digital representation of a physical object in the digital space. In the Precision Health context, digital twins are indeed enablers of machine learning and knowledge mining. It is also useful for the in-silico simulation of a person's phenotype (health states) and genotype (molecular states) to realize evidence-based medicine. Moreover, using probabilistic graph model and neuro- symbolic AI, digital twins will be useful in mitigating physician's knowledge gaps or decision gaps to achieve value-based care. In contrast to Digital twins, Digital triplet is the semantic intelligence about the object. Digital triplets capture the semantics by placing semantically similar objects close together in the vector embedding space. This semantic intelligence helps cognition and discover hidden and unknown knowledge and their interrelationships to make accurate clinical and medical predictions. We group digital twins in three major categories, namely, Person Phenotype Digital Twin, Person Genotype Digital Twin, and Physicians' Brain Digital Twin. Person phenotype digital twin relates to all observable properties of a person and a population. Person genotype digital twin helps understand the molecular properties of a person and a population. Physicians brain digital twin is the doctors' brain with actionable biomedical knowledge in the virtual space. © 2024 Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft AKA GmbH, Berlin. All rights reserved.

    Physicians’ Brain Digital Twin: Holistic Clinical & Biomedical Knowledge Graphs for Patient Safety and Value-Based Care to Prevent the Post-pandemic Healthcare Ecosystem Crisis
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Talukder, A.K.; Selg, E.; Haas, R.E.
    The ‘reading to cognition gaps’ and the ‘knowledge to action gaps’ for a physician or a care provider are the root causes of patient harm and the low- value healthcare. Rule-based symptom-checkers often fail when there are multiple co-occurring symptoms. To ensure patient safety and value-based care we have constructed nine AI-driven and evidence based interconnected holistic knowledge graphs covering the entire spectrum of medical knowledge starting from symptoms to therapeutics. These knowledge graphs are in fact the digital twin of all physicians’ brains. These nine knowledge graphs are Symptomatomics, Diseasomics, SNOMED CT, Disease-Gene Network, Multimorbidity, Resistomics, Patholomics, Oncolomics, and Drugomics. These knowledge graphs are constructed from semantic integration of biomedical ontologies like Disease Ontology, Symptom Ontology, Gene Ontology, Drug Ontology, NCI Thesaurus, DisGenomics Network, PharmGKB, ChEBI, WHO AWaRe, and WHOCC. This is further enhanced through thematic integration of the knowledge mined from PubMed, DailyMed, FAERS, Wikipedia and patient data (EHR) from hospitals and cancer registry. These knowledge graphs are interconnected through common vocabularies like SNOMED CT, ICD10, ICDO, UMLS, NCIT, DOID, HGNC, GO, LOINC, ATC, RXCUI, and RxNORM codes that helped us to construct a complete clinical, medical, therapeutic, and conflicting medication knowledge graph with 723,801 nodes and 10,657,694 edges. This knowledge graph is stored in a Neo4j property graph database which is deployed in the cloud accessible 24×7 through REST/JSON-RPC and AIoT API. On top of this integrated knowledge graph we used node2vec to construct digital triplet discovering many unknown and hidden knowledge. This integrated clinical & biomedical knowledge functions as the digital twin of all physicians’ brains. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
