These people are dangerous, and I mean that.

In silico trials and digital twins are emerging as transformative medical technologies as they offer a unique way to design medical innovations, optimize their application, and evaluate their utility. Their utility spans from individual care – appropriating the technology for personalized decision, to population care – presenting an alternative to design, supplement, or replace clinical trials. They effectually offer a new way to efficiently qualify, quantify, and personalize healthcare innovations in advance or in conjunction with their clinical application. While much progress is underway to advance these technologies across diverse developments, realizing their full potential requires a cohesive goal to unify separate activities towards a common objective. Such a cohesive goal – a moonshot – can be defined as forming and fostering a digital twin of every single human person, owned by the individual, progressively updated with new data, and used to deliver optimized care, technology assessment, and real-world evidence. This vision builds upon a growing body of work in computational modeling, regulatory science, and digital healthcare, underscoring its feasibility. Bringing this vision to reality requires ownership and active engagement of all stakeholders to contribute diverse expertise and resources for transforming medicine and medical appropriation towards a more accurate, efficient, and quantitative future.

New paper from Shaun Seaman and me on how to simulate data from marginal structural models (MSMs) for survival outcomes, including Cox MSMs. This can be useful in simulation studies evaluating causal inference methods that use MSMs. R code provided. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Simulating Data From Marginal Structural Models for a Survival Time Outcome

Marginal structural models (MSMs) are often used to estimate causal effects of treatments on survival time outcomes from observational data when time-dependent confounding may be present. They can be...

If "data permitting"... one should probably not to be too optimistic if aiming to adjust for everything predictive of survival?
