A digital twin in healthcare refers to a virtual replica of physical entities such as patients and hospital environments in virtual form, incorporating real-time data from sources such as electronic health records and physiological measurements. These digital replicas facilitate personalized treatment plans, predictive analytics, and enhanced clinical operations by integrating real-time data and virtual simulations.
The main types of digital twins in healthcare are process and system digital twins, and product digital twins. A Process and System Digital Twin refers to a virtual representation of a physical process or systems applications including asset and process management, personalized medicine, and drug discovery, and it is used in clinical research organizations, research and diagnostic laboratories, hospitals, and clinics.

The digital twins in healthcare market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.96 billion in 2024 to $2.94 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 50.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to Increasing adoption of digital twin technology in manufacturing and aerospace industries, Advancements in IoT and cloud computing technologies, Growing demand for predictive maintenance and real-time analytics, Growing demand for predictive maintenance and real-time analytics, and Increasing investments in digital twin technology by public and private entities.
The digital twins in healthcare market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.29 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to Increasing adoption of digital twin technology in the healthcare industry, Growing demand for real-time data analytics, Advancements in machine learning and artificial intelligence, Increasing focus on patient-centered care, and Growing demand for predictive analytics and preventive interventions. Major trends in the forecast period include Increasing use of digital twins for drug discovery and development, Growing demand for patient remote monitoring, Increasing use of digital twins for customized medicine, Growing use of digital twins for surgery planning, and Increasing use of digital twins for epidemic management,.
The expansion of telehealth is expected to propel the growth of digital twins in the healthcare market going forward. Telehealth refers to using telecommunications technology to provide healthcare services and information remotely. It encompasses various healthcare services, including medical consultations, monitoring, education, and health information exchange, all delivered through digital communication channels. Digital twins can simulate real-time physiological responses and disease progression for individual patients. Telehealth platforms can use this information for remote monitoring, enabling healthcare providers to remotely track patients' vital signs, medication adherence, and overall health. For instance, in February 2023, according to Rock Health Inc., a US-based health technology company, four out of five consumers had utilized a telemedicine service at least once. Additionally, telemedicine use increased significantly in 2022 among underrepresented groups in healthcare. Telemedicine adoption increased by 12% among people over the age of 55, and rural residents adopted telemedicine at a 13% higher rate. Therefore, telehealth expansion is driving the growth of digital twins in the healthcare market.
Major companies operating in digital twins in the healthcare market are developing innovative digital twin-supported technology, such as Emma, to raise awareness of the role of virtual twins in accelerating medical research and delivering personalized care. Emma is a digital twin-supported technology that provides an interactive, true-to-life virtual replica with additional data points, insights, and analysis that enhance the experience. The technology can optimize surgical procedures and give patients a greater understanding of treatment options. For instance, in September 2023, Dassault Systemesa SE, a France-based software company, launched a digital twin avatar named Emma to raise awareness about health research. Emma is a virtual model that accurately reflects the characteristics of a physical being. Emma was developed using anonymous health data to conduct numerous tests to gain insight into various diseases and therapies.
