Cover Story: Public interest in digital twin is fast increasing in today’s digitally expanding world. The healthcare sector, unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic, should investigate how to embrace and incorporate this fast-emerging technology as it develops. This paper 1) investigates the history, development, and common misconceptions of digital twin; 2) expounds a digital twin model for the healthcare context differentiated by different life stages; 3) proposes a paradigm of “digital twinning everything as a healthcare service” grouped by different types of physical entities for the first time; 4) explores the impacts of digital twin in healthcare by reviewing relevant applications; and 5) discusses the strengths and challenges of digital twin along with future research opportunities.
