数字孪生是物理资产的数字表示，再现其数据模型、行为以及与其他物理资产的通信。数字孪生作为它们所代表的物理对象或过程的数字复制品，提供几乎实时的监测和评估，而无需近距离接触。虽然它们的大多数具体应用主要在工业环境中，但医疗保健是数字孪生可能产生破坏性影响的另一个相关领域。本文的主要研究问题是数字孪生与智能体和多智能体系统（MAS）技术在医疗保健中的集成。在概述了数字双胞胎在医疗保健中的应用之后，我们在本文中讨论了我们对基于代理的数字双胞胎的愿景，并提出了第一个案例研究，关于基于代理的数字双胞胎在严重创伤管理中的应用。
A digital twin is a digital representation of a physical asset reproducing its data model, its behaviour and its communication with other physical assets. Digital twins act as a digital replica for the physical object or process they represent, providing nearly real-time monitoring and evaluation without being in close proximity. Although most of their concrete applications can be found mainly in the industrial context, healthcare represents another relevant area where digital twins can have a disruptive impact. The main research question tackled by this paper is about the integration of digital twins with agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) technologies in healthcare. After providing an overview of the application of digital twins in healthcare, in this paper, we discuss our vision about agent-based digital twins, and we present a first case study, about the application of agent-based digital twins to the management of severe traumas.
