What DTAS means to Patients 

​

We recognise that preparing for surgery, particularly for conditions such as cancer can be a deeply personal and often an anxious experience. Our goal is to support both patients and surgical teams by introducing advanced, patient-specific tools that improve outcomes and enhance confidence in care.

​

Digital Twin technology allows us to take a significant step forward in how surgeries are planned and performed, by making each step more tailored, more informed, and more precise.

​

What Is a Digital Twin?

A digital twin is a detailed, 3D virtual model of your internal anatomy, created using your medical imaging (such as CT or MRI scans), blood test results, and other clinical information. It serves as a digital replica of your body, enabling your healthcare team to better understand your condition and rehearse the surgery in advance.

​

This model is not generic. It is uniquely yours. It helps your surgeon simulate different approaches, assess potential risks, and make more informed decisions well before the actual procedure.

How This Benefits You

Truly Personalised Care

Your treatment plan is developed using insights drawn directly from your own body, not from population averages. This leads to a surgical approach tailored to your specific anatomy, tumour location, and health status.

​

Greater Surgical Accuracy

With a digital twin, surgeons can identify critical structures (such as blood vessels) and plan how to avoid them. This can help reduce complications and protect healthy tissue during surgery.

​

Improved Recovery and Outcomes

A more accurately planned surgery can result in shorter operating times, less blood loss, and quicker recovery. It also supports better long-term outcomes.

​

Clearer Communication

Digital twins make it easier for clinicians to explain the surgical plan to you. Visualising your condition and the proposed procedure can help you feel more informed and involved in your care.

​

Supportive Technology, Not a Replacement

It’s important to know that DTAS does not replace your surgeon. Rather, it provides them with an advanced tool to enhance their planning, accuracy, and decision-making. Your clinical team remains at the centre of your care, with the added support of data-driven insights to guide each step of the surgical process.

​

Your Data, Your Consent, Your Privacy

We take data protection and patient privacy seriously. Digital twins are created using your medical information only after your consent is obtained. All data is securely handled in compliance with medical ethics and data governance standards.

​

​

In Summary

DTAS helps to make surgery safer, more precise, and more personalised, designed with your anatomy, your risks, and your outcomes in mind.

​

This is the future of surgery.

Thoughtful, informed, and centred around you.
