From Sick Care to Predictive Medicine

#6 Twin Things Podcast

In the sixth episode of the Twin Things Podcast, we explore how the concept of digital twins is reshaping our understanding of disease and healthcare. The episode features a conversation between Kasia Baliga-Nicholson and Cyrille Thinnes, Engagement Manager for the Virtual Metabolic Human and Research Fellow at the Digital Metabolic Twin Centre, University of Galway.

Together, they discuss how digital metabolic twins enable a more integrated view of the human body as a connected system—bringing together metabolism, the microbiome, and patient data—to support the development of predictive and personalised medicine.
This episode looks ahead to a future of healthcare that goes beyond reacting to disease, focusing instead on earlier understanding, improved prediction, and more effective prevention.
