That\u2019s what happened when Covid-19 first arrived. Global analytics company Elsevier and ExactCure, a startup providing software solutions to reduce the impact of inaccurate medication, came together in April 2020 to build a digital twin that could model patient reactions to 20 approved\u00a0drugs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">But\u00a0<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raconteur.net\/digital\/digital-twinning-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"what is a digital twin (opens in a new tab)\">what is a digital twin<\/a><a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.raconteur.net\/digital\/digital-twinning-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"?
