Human Digital Twins for fostering Prosocial Behaviour (HDT-PROSOCIAL)

Proyecto PID2022-140907OB-I00 financiado por MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ y por FEDER, UE.

Approach

HDT-PROSOCIAL Hypothesis

Our starting hypothesis is that Human Digital Twins are capable of improving people’s life experience by including social interaction capabilities, as well as reasoning and prediction. Based on this hypothesis, the general objective of the project is to offer a holistic approach, independent of the domain, that allows the development of HDT, which will be applied to the health field.

Social Behaviour

Towards Human Digital Twins

Although two decades have passed since the term Digital Twin (DT) was coined as the conjunction of three elements: “a real space, a virtual space and a link for the bidirectional flow of data between both spaces for the convergence of physical objects and virtual”, it has been in recent years that this approach has become one of the topics of greatest interest, not only for the scientific community, but especially for the business and industrial sector. One of the domains in which the use of Digital Twin is breaking out is health. Specifically, the use of Human Digital Twins (HDT) is proposed as the technology that will allow complete management of all aspects related to people’s health.

What we will achive

Scientific Goals

U

Identify characteristics and requirements of HDTs for their specification, monitoring, analysis and simulation of their behavior

Define a development process for modeling context-aware HDTs

i

Develop a proposal to guide the design of the HDT architecture so that it supports those desirable characteristics

Develop the necessary mechanisms to allow HDTs to reason about their behavior considering social aspects

Develop those components that favor the integration of Extended Reality solutions that facilitate the interaction of humans with their HDTs and other DTs in the environment.

What we will achive

Domain Specific Goals

Enhance the socialization of children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders

Enhance prosocial behaviors in children and adolescents with social behavior disorders
