A journalist uses an AI-powered digital twin from Twin Health to guide her food choices and improve her metabolic health over 100 days.

Summary

In this article, Victoria Song describes her 100-day experience with a digital twin from Twin Health, an AI-powered system that predicts how her glucose levels will react to different foods. She details the daily routine of feeding her twin data from a smart scale, continuous glucose monitor, and manual food logging. The program includes regular check-ins with a health coach and blood tests. While she didn't lose significant weight or reduce medications as hoped, her metabolic health score improved, liver enzymes normalized, and inflammation markers dropped. She questions the broader implications of digital twins in personalized medicine, especially regarding data privacy and trust in higher-stakes scenarios like cancer care.
