Dassault Systèmes presents a healthcare innovation platform, showcasing avatars that help doctors and researchers understand diseases and treatment outcomes without risking actual patients.

Dassault Systèmes unveiled 'Emma Twin', an avatar that showcases virtual twin-led medical innovation, on the 26th.


Designed to raise awareness of the role of virtual twins in medical advancements and future medical innovations, 'Emma Twin' will share how virtual twin avatars created with anonymous medical data undergo numerous tests related to diseases within various social media content, thereby raising awareness of virtual twins that will help medical professionals and researchers understand diseases and treatment effects.

Emma Twin's social media content features stories of virtual twins participating in ongoing research and medical innovations, including clinical trials utilizing Medidata solutions, cardiac responses to various procedures within the Living Heart project, Corneal transplants with CorNeat Vision, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease research with the Living Brain project, wearable IASO drug delivery and monitoring devices, and home environment optimization for seniors.

In addition, the portable microscope for skin cancer diagnosis, Die, from the French surgical supplies company 'DAMAE Medical'We will introduce Dynocardia's blood pressure monitoring solution, FEops' heart monitoring, Lucid Implants' facial custom implants, and VORTHEx's radiation treatment simulation experience.

“With Emma Twin, we will be able to unravel the impact of virtual twins in healthcare in a compelling and meaningful way,” said Victoire de Margerie, Vice President, Corporate Marketing and Communications, Dassault Systèmes. “Our virtual twins have already accelerated the development of COVID-19 vaccines, optimized surgical procedures, and improved patient understanding of treatment options. We will continue to leverage our leading technologies to draw attention to key healthcare challenges and demonstrate how the virtual world can improve the real world.”

Dassault Systèmes' Virtual Twin is a 3D model that evolves based on accumulated data, replicating reality with scientific accuracy and used for virtual performance testing and improvement. It has driven sustainable innovation that improves the quality of life for consumers, citizens, and patients for the past 40 years.

Virtual twins also enable research and healthcare, much like the automotive, building, and aerospace industries, to accurately, safely, and effectively model, test, and treat the human body, accelerating the development of more precise and proactive medical solutions.

Meanwhile, Dassault Systèmes launched the "Only Progress is Human" initiative in 2020 to raise awareness of social and environmental issues and pursue sustainable innovation in areas such as urbanization and water conservation using virtual worlds. Emma Twin continues this "Only Progress is Human" initiative, focusing on healthcare and the patient experience.
