Nurse and Digital Twin: A New Paradigm of Palliative Care

Abstract

A digital twin is a virtual copy of a real object or system that is constantly connected to the original and updated based on its data. In healthcare, this technology opens new possibilities for personalized medicine, especially in palliative care. The article examines the application of digital twins in palliative medicine and their impact on nursing practice. The main areas of application include: continuous monitoring of patient conditions, predictive models of deterioration, personalization of care and treatment, improvement of communication between treatment participants. However, the implementation of digital twins is associated with ethical challenges, including issues of data privacy, algorithmic bias and preservation of humanity in care. For nurses, the emergence of digital twins means not replacement, but transformation of the professional role – from executors of routine tasks to coordinators of high-tech and human-centered care. Successful integration of these technologies requires personnel training, ethical regulation and preservation of compassionate care values.
