Digital Twins Map Hospital-at-Home Frailty Care
A 2025 systematic review by researchers at Newcastle University and collaborators examines digital-twin (DT) enabling tools for managing patients with frailty in hospital-at-home (HaH) settings, reviewing 69 reports published January 2019–September 2025. The study maps technologies across five DT layers, finds sensing and communication widely used but analytics largely descriptive, and highlights gaps in secure data management, predictive/prescriptive methods, and workflow integration for clinical deployment.
Key Points
- 1Map DT-enabling tools across five architecture layers: sensing, communication, storage, analytics, visualization.
- 2Find analytics largely descriptive with limited predictive or prescriptive methods for clinical decision support.
- 3Recommend focus on secure data management, acceptability, and workflow integration for HaH DT deployment.
Scoring Rationale
Comprehensive, peer-reviewed mapping of DT tools and architectures, but limited advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics deployment evidence.
