Towards a Digital Landscape Twin: Insights from the Healthcare Industry

Adapting the Digital Twin concept, initially conceived within the aerospace industry, to the realm of landscape poses a big challenge. This difficulty stems from the unique intrinsic characteristics of landscapes, primarily composed of organic elements and materials. In order to shed light on the viability of such an adaptation, this paper undertakes an examination of three instances wherein the Digital Twin concept has been successfully incorporated into the healthcare industry. These instances include the creation of virtual patients through advanced imaging, the application of simulation in surgical practice, and the integration of precision medicine. Through a comparative analysis of these cases, this paper explains how the landscape discipline could emulate the adoption and framework of the Digital Twin concept, thereby enhancing current landscape practices.
