Development of the Windmill Model for Mapping Older Adults’ Intrinsic Capacity Using Digital Twin Technology: Descriptive Qualitative Study Background: Intrinsic capacity (IC) refers to the sum of the physical and mental capacities of an individual. Conventional IC assessment requires substantial temporal and human resources. Digital twin (DT) technology emerges as a promising solution for efficiently mapping ICs. Objective: This study aims to explore older adults’ perspectives on the DT technology and their perceptions of how it could effectively represent their ICs. Methods: A qualitative study was used. Face-to-face semistructured interviews with 23 older adults were conducted. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed via content analysis approach. Results: The analysis identified five themes and 16 subthemes: (1) “opt for or not my digital twin,” revealing the older adults’ decisions regarding whether to use DT technology for mapping ICs; (2) “my ideal digital avatar,” describing the older adults’ preferences for personalized digital avatar appearances; (3) “my digital twin maps my intrinsic capacity,” highlighting how multimodal reminders and synchronized avatar changes enhanced their comprehension of ICs; (4) “the benefits my digital twin can deliver,” emphasizing the potential of the DT system to provide feedback services to older adults; (5) “some expectations for my digital twin,” outlining their expectations for DT technology. Based on the above insights, a conceptual model, “windmill” model, was further developed to better understand how to build DTs of older adults and map their ICs. Conclusions: DT technology was a promising tool for mapping ICs of older adults. Furthermore, the “windmill” model provided a framework to build tailored DTs. The findings of this study could provide references to develop DT model to support IC management.

An infographic titled 'BEYOND DATA SILOS—THE NEED FOR A SHARED GRAMMAR: Achieving Interoperability for Digital Twins.' The image is divided into three sections. Left section: 'THE CURRENT CHALLENGE: ISOLATED DATA SILOS & ALIGNMENT FAILURE.' It shows padlocked, disconnected icons for an Oura Ring, PM2.5 monitors, and City Sensors pointing to a gray data 'Silo' with 'NO COMMUNICATION.' Below, a frustrated person represents a 'Static/Incomplete Personal Baseline,' resulting in a 'Failure of Biological Alignment.' Middle section: An arrow labeled 'INTEROPERABILITY GAP' points to 'THE SOLUTION: A COMMON DOMAIN FRAMEWORK (BFO-COMPLIANT ONTOLOGY).' A glowing, interconnected data web called the 'META MESH ONTOLOGY (MMO)' links three domains: the Biological Domain (HRV, Glucose), the Environmental Domain (PM2.5, Decibels), and the Psychological Domain (Affective states). Right section: 'THE RESULT: CROSS-DOMAIN REASONING & SIMULATION.' A calm, smiling person is integrated with a glowing data network. Text reads: 'Standardized grammar enables dynamic PERSONAL BASELINE. Adjusting in real-time to simulate environmental friction.' A footer at the bottom reads 'FROM PASSIVE TRACKING TO PROACTIVE SIMULATION' alongside the SRI Self Research Institute logo and the question, 'HOW MUCH OF YOUR HEALTH IS DETERMINED BY YOUR ZIP CODE VS. YOUR GENETIC CODE?'"

Beyond Data Silos🕸️🧬
Interoperability is the Digital Twin's final frontier. If wearables & urban sensors don't share a grammar, Biological Alignment fails. Using shared ontologies (like the MMO) moves us from passive tracking to Cross-Domain Reasoning.

An infographic titled 'SOVEREIGN URBAN-PERSONAL DATA SYNC' contrasting the problem of proprietary data silos with a decentralized solution. The left side shows a confused figure relying on guesswork and trial-and-error due to disconnected personal health data (CGM, EHR) and proprietary urban sensors. The right side illustrates a synchronized system with four key components: 1) Individual Biometric Sovereignty (user-controlled wearables), 2) Community Urban Data Hosting (neighborhood-managed sensors), 3) a central Decentralized Urban Data Commons managed via a DAO, and 4) a Personalized Health PI Console where a user takes informed action based on real-time air quality and noise simulations. The footer emphasizes using DeSci protocols to manage data as a shared Community Common for optimized biological alignment

Incorporating Competition Improves Accuracy in Digital Brain Models Creating personalized digital 'twins' of the human brain is a major goal in neuroscience and medicine. These models aim to simulate individual brain activity and responses to stimuli, diseases, or treatments. However, current whole-brain models fail to capture the unique wiring of each person's brain, making most digital twins only vaguely representative. A recent study published in Nature Neuroscience highlights a key factor missing in many models: competition between brain systems. While traditional models emphasize cooperation between regions, the human brain naturally balances cooperative and competitive interactions, allowing different systems to activate selectively. By incorporating these competitive interactions, models more accurately reproduce real brain activity, capture individual 'brain fingerprints,' and align with cognitive circuits like attention and memory. This approach also improves the reliability of animal-to-human translation in neuroscience research, potentially reducing the failure rate of treatments in clinical trials. The findings suggest that understanding these principles can enhance personalized medicine, refine treatment simulations, and guide the development of AI systems inspired by human intelligence.
