French entrepreneur Charles Barre, founder of the company Hainu, has proposed cooperation with Turkmenistan in implementing an innovative digital patient twin technology. The proposal was presented at an international conference on assisting children in need of guardianship, held on Saturday in the city of Arkadag.
According to him, the project could be implemented in partnership with the Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov Charitable Foundation, as reported by the official media of Turkmenistan.
The digital patient twin is based on data analysis obtained from connected medical devices and evaluates genomic, metabolic, mental, environmental, and fitness indicators. Artificial intelligence predicts the risks of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular conditions.
Charles Barre noted that implementing this technology would enable a shift from disease treatment to prevention, which is especially important for maternal and child health.
The Turkmen side expressed interest in the project, emphasizing the importance of digital solutions for the development of the national healthcare system.
Developed over 12 years in the United States, Canada, China, and France, the technology is already used in 13 countries and has been recognized by the UN as the best innovation in the field of healthy aging.
