Add that information to your medical data and you have the makings of your own human digital twin. Our guests in this episode are Southwest Research Institute engineers Dan Nicolella and Kase Saylor. They explain what digital twins are, who they can benefit and why they have the potential to help us understand our health needs in a new and personal way. Plus, learn about an innovative tool in human performance and biomechanics – markerless motion capture. Find out how this technique is helping athletes play a better game and helping injured people rehabilitate. Listen now as we discuss digital health.
