Tech News Digest - November 18, 2025: AI Digital Twins, Waymo Expansion, and Quantum Breakthroughs
AI Digital Twin Breakthrough: DT-GPT Predicts Patient Health Futures Researchers at the University of Melbourne have developed a groundbreaking AI tool, DT-GPT, that creates virtual digital twins of patients to forecast their individual health paths. The model was trained on three datasets comprising thousands of electronic patient health records for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and non-small cell lung cancer. In testing, DT-GPT outperformed 14 other leading machine learning models in predictive accuracy. This technology could potentially simulate clinical trial outcomes, accelerating drug development and reducing costs. It may also enable medical professionals to anticipate patient health deterioration for earlier intervention and predict adverse medication side effects for more personalized treatment plans. The research has been published in NPJ Digital Medicine. ...
