A Human Digital Twin (HDT) is a digital representation, or virtual copy, of an individual human and since 2017 Innovision has been developing human digital twin technology. Our HDT comprises individualized and unified human models combined with data links and personal data containers. Integrated with AI, extended reality, and advanced digital engineering technologies, Innovision’s HDT can be used to promote, improve, and optimize human-centered design, service, and performance.

Our HDT work has been supported by two Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs.

Under Patient Digital Twin with a Performance Capture System for Scoliosis Physiotherapy — an SBIR Phase I award from the National Science Foundation — Innovision developed a scoliosis patient digital twin describing a patient’s body shape and musculoskeletal structure. The model was used to create an immersive, interactive environment for scoliosis physiotherapeutic exercises.

Under Pilot Digital Twin for Neck Injury Mitigation — an SBIR Phase I and II award from the Air Force — Innovision developed a software system for pilot digital twin construction and implementation. Combined with an anatomically detailed neck injury model, the pilot digital twin can be used to analyze and predict chronic and acute neck injuries induced by high-G maneuvers and ejections.
