Mohan Zalake is the lead author of a paper published in Scientific Reports reporting doctors’ perceptions of using their digital twins in patient care.
The study explores how doctors perceive the use of artificial intelligence-generated characters that resemble them to communicate health information to patients. The study reveals the potential benefits of using digital twins of doctors (DTDs), such as enhancing credibility, personalizing care, and delivering additional information. However, the study also identifies the challenges and concerns associated with DTDs, such as ethical and legal implications, technological limitations, and patient reception. The study provides novel insights into the opportunities and barriers of utilizing DTDs in healthcare and offers recommendations for their responsible implementation.
