BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 3. The "medical digital
twin system" is a centralized digital platform that ensures the
collection and processing of information on the health status of
Azerbaijani citizens through unified electronic registries,
Azerbaijan's Minister of Healthcare, Teymur Musayev, said during
the system's presentation, Trend reports.
“The ‘Medical Digital Twin’ system is a centralized digital
platform that collects and processes data on citizens' health
status through unified electronic registries,” he said.
According to the minister, these registries ensure the storage
of citizens’ health indicators, treatment outcomes, vaccination
records, laboratory test results, prescriptions, and other medical
information within a unified structure, as well as standardized
data exchange between healthcare institutions.
"Collecting data within a unified information space will enable
in-depth analysis, including through the use of artificial
intelligence, to forecast the population’s health status, implement
centralized management during crises, and develop future healthcare
strategies. To ensure data integrity within the digital
government’s information environment, medical data will be
integrated with other government information systems, including
financial ones,” the minister noted.
He emphasized that starting next academic year, courses on
“Digital Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Medicine” will
be offered.
“The training programs, which will run throughout the year, will
cover specialists in all medical fields and support the digital
transformation of the healthcare system,” the minister said.
Teymur Musayev also stated that digital transformation requires
robust cybersecurity measures.
"Protecting personal medical data, ensuring confidentiality, and
strengthening public trust are among the most critical challenges
we face. As digital systems expand, cybersecurity is becoming an
integral part of healthcare security. From this perspective,
digital transformation not only contributes to the modernization of
healthcare but also contributes to national security and the
resilience of society."
