Twin Health is a startup using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create personalized health plans. With the help of AI, the company simulates individual metabolic systems which help in weight loss and medication management. Their ultimate goal is to provide custom-tailored suggestions to every individual.
These “Whole Body Digital Twins” are created using data such as sensor data, clinical labs, and lifestyle choices gathered from devices like blood glucose monitors. This data helps Twin Health generate precise health programs and assists physicians in making accurate diagnoses.
The company uses a machine learning algorithm to analyze the data. Unlike traditional health models, this “digital twin” model uses unique characteristics and patterns of an individual to provide best-suited health advice. This innovative approach ensures wellness and prevents illness, paving the way for a proactive approach to healthcare.
Dr. Lisa Shah, Chief Medical Officer at Twin Health, strongly believes in the impact of personal environment and behavior on healthcare.

They aim to reduce the burden of chronic diseases and enhance overall wellness, thereby improving the standard of healthcare services. The company’s ground-breaking approach to managing these chronic diseases is being recognized and appreciated worldwide.
