We have just started trialling AI digital clinical twin prediction models in the hospital I am affiliated with. This digital twin aims to collate 1000s of presentations so that clinicians can give a treatment to the twin to understand the likely response from the patient before it is given to them. This twin will also be able to predict the date a patient will be medically fit enough to leave the hospital and will subsequently inform rehabilitation and social care actions/ timescales. What will this mean for developing "clinical reasoning" for the next generation of professionals? Conversely, what is the potential impingement here for teaching person-centred care when the algorithm says no? Looking forward to the conversation. BW, Meri
