随着大数据、云计算、物联网等技术的发展，数字孪生作为一种精密仿真技术从概念到实践正在逐步应用于工业领域。此外，仿真在医疗保健领域发挥着非常重要的作用，特别是在医疗路径规划、医疗资源分配、医疗活动预测等方面的研究。通过数字孪生与医疗保健的结合，将有一种新的、高效的方式为老年医疗保健提供更准确、更快捷的服务。然而，如何实现老年患者全生命周期的个人健康管理，以及如何融合医疗物理世界和虚拟世界，实现真正的智慧医疗，仍然是精准医疗时代的两大关键挑战。本文提出了一种基于数字孪生医疗（CloudDTH）的云医疗系统框架。这是云环境中一种新颖的、通用的、可扩展的框架，用于使用可穿戴医疗设备等来监测、诊断和预测个人健康状况，以实现个人健康管理的目标，特别是老年人的健康管理。 CloudDTH旨在实现医疗物理空间和虚拟空间之间的交互和融合。据此，提出并讨论了数字孪生医疗保健（DTH）的新概念，并实现了DTH模型。接下来，构建了基于DTH的CloudDTH参考框架，并探讨了其关键使能技术。最后，论证了一些应用场景的可行性以及实时监管的案例研究。
With the development of technologies, such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twin is being applied in industry as a precision simulation technology from concept to practice. Further, simulation plays a very important role in the healthcare field, especially in research on medical pathway planning, medical resource allocation, medical activity prediction, etc. By combining digital twin and healthcare, there will be a new and efficient way to provide more accurate and fast services for elderly healthcare. However, how to achieve personal health management throughout the entire lifecycle of elderly patients, and how to converge the medical physical world and the virtual world to realize real smart healthcare, are still two key challenges in the era of precision medicine. In this paper, a framework of the cloud healthcare system is proposed based on digital twin healthcare (CloudDTH). This is a novel, generalized, and extensible framework in the cloud environment for monitoring, diagnosing and predicting aspects of the health of individuals using, for example, wearable medical devices, toward the goal of personal health management, especially for the elderly. CloudDTH aims to achieve interaction and convergence between medical physical and virtual spaces. Accordingly, a novel concept of digital twin healthcare (DTH) is proposed and discussed, and a DTH model is implemented. Next, a reference framework of CloudDTH based on DTH is constructed, and its key enabling technologies are explored. Finally, the feasibility of some application scenarios and a case study for real-time supervision are demonstrated.
