Hyperconnected smart cities and DigitalMe application example This figure illustrates the integration of the DigitalMe concept within hyperconnected smart cities, seamlessly combining sensing, computing, and engagement. On the right, we see a smart city infrastructure where personalized healthcare intersects with public health, fostering sustainable development driven by precision health and artificial intelligence. DigitalMe emphasizes the ethical considerations and potential challenges related to data privacy and individual autonomy. On the left, a specific application of DigitalMe focusing on cardiovascular disease management demonstrates the capabilities of a human digital twin. The Digital Review of Me (DRM) covers various human systems, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, musculoskeletal, endocrinology, genitourinary, and mental health. It integrates sensor data, electronic medical records (EMRs), and 3D scans, digitized for health pattern recognition, actionable response, and predictive health modeling. This comprehensive approach of DigitalMe shows its potential in monitoring and enhancing health across multiple systems, paving the way for responsible technology use in smart cities.
