9. Digital “Twins”
What It Does: Creates A Digital Copy To Monitor Health Over Time
Expected Rollout: Unknown
Working on hypotheticals alone, simulations are a far cry from their modern and more advanced cousin, the digital twin, which utilizes a full-body scan to assess people’s health over time without having to keep getting checkups.

By using the information gathered in previous lab work and physicals, digital twins would, “theoretically”, be able to predict illness by simulating health scenarios over many years. Through genetic testing and other health markers, we could soon see everyone with a digital twin, and be able to foresee potentially deadly conditions far before they arise.
