Understanding digital patient simulation in clinical development
Download the Insight Brief: Digital “Twinning”: How Foundation Models are Transforming Digital Patient Simulation

Digital patient simulation is opening new possibilities for improving clinical trial planning, evidence generation and decision making. But as approaches such as digital twins, synthetic controls and external comparators evolve, understanding what each can realistically support is essential. 

This insight brief brings clarity to the rapidly changing landscape and explores how foundation models may make patient-level simulation more practical and scalable, without reducing the need for rigorous validation and credible evidence. 

Download the brief to explore how digital patient simulation may help:
  • Reduce uncertainty earlier in clinical development
  • Inform stronger trial design and planning decisions
  • Support more individualized predictions of patient outcomes
  • Strengthen the interpretation of limited or single-arm evidence     
Discover how foundation models can expand the potential of digital patient simulation, and the rigor required to apply these capabilities credibly in clinical development.
