ABSTRACT: Digital twin technology, originally developed for intricate physical systems, holds great potential in women’s healthcare, particularly in the management of pelvic floor disorders. This paper delves into the development of a digital twin specifically for the female pelvic floor, which can amalgamate various data sources such as imaging, biomechanical assessments, and patient-reported outcomes to offer personalized diagnostic and therapeutic insights. Through the utilization of 3D modeling and machine learning, the digital twin may facilitate precise visualization, prediction, and individualized treatment planning. Nevertheless, it is crucial to address the ethical and practical challenges related to data privacy and ensuring fair access. As this technology progresses, it has the potential to revolutionize gynecological and obstetric care by enhancing diagnostics, customizing treatments, and increasing patient involvement.
