It was less effective, however, on British data.
Nonetheless, there are high hopes for the digital twins.
This patient digital twin can provide insights and what if scenarios.

But the researchers are making progress on those fronts.
One of the themes of this years TNW Conference is Ren-AI-ssance: The AI-Powered Rebirth.
