What if your ‘digital twin’ could test drug side effects?

Northeastern University researchers have developed a digital twin to simulate human physiology and test potential side effects of new medications.

The digital twin, called Vie, uses machine learning algorithms to model the behavior of human cells and tissues.

Researchers can use Vie to test the safety and efficacy of new medications in a virtual environment before they are tested in humans.

This could significantly reduce the time and cost associated with developing new treatments.
