Deep Digital Phenotyping and Digital Twins for Precision Health: Time to Dig Deeper

This viewpoint describes the urgent need for more large-scale, deep digital phenotyping to advance toward precision health. It describes why and how to combine real-world digital data with clinical data and omics features to identify someone’s digital twin, and how to finally enter the era of patient-centered care and modify the way we view disease management and prevention.
