Summary:An important and potential benefit of virtual clinical trials is that the size of human trials can be reduced by making reliable predictions. [...]virtual clinical trials could significantly shorten the time-to-market for new drugs or therapeutic strategies and reduce the costs of development. Importantly, it must be ensured that the data come from different populations to avoid model bias. [...]data collection issues affect digital twin methods to some extent. Digital twin models involve uncertainty, which arises from observational uncertainty, uncertainty in model structure, and uncertainty in model parameters.
