Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of digital healthcare and artificial intelligence, and in particular to a digital twin-driven personalized diagnosis and treatment system and method for psoriasis. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis mainly rely on clinical experience and standard treatment guidelines. For moderate to severe psoriasis, biologics such as IL-17A inhibitors have become important treatment methods. In basic research, animal models or in vitro cell models are typically used to study pathogenesis and screen drugs. Although some computer-aided technologies have been used for medical image analysis or pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic modeling, these models are mostly general and non-personalized, unable to integrate multi-dimensional, cross-scale vital sign data of patients. Meanwhile, although digital twin technology has been applied in industry, in the clinical application of complex chronic diseases like psoriasis, there is still no dynamic evolutionary personalized system that can integrate molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ information. The existing psoriasis research models, clinical treatment protocols, and computer-aided analysis technologies have the following shortcomings:
[0003] First, the research model is distorted: traditional animal or cell models cannot fully simulate the complex pathophysiological process of human psoriasis and have limitations in reflecting individual differences and the long-term effects of drugs.
[0004] Secondly, the treatment plan lacks foresight: clinical treatment is mostly "trial and error", making it difficult to accurately predict the long-term response of a specific patient to biologics before treatment, and it is impossible to predict and explain the phenomenon of efficacy decay.
[0005] Third, the data is not being fully utilized: the massive amount of multimodal data generated by clinical diagnosis and treatment has not been effectively integrated and deeply mined, making it impossible to form a complete view that dynamically reflects the evolution of the disease.
[0006] Fourth, there is a lack of combined drug simulation platforms: for novel therapies such as the combination of biological agents and traditional Chinese medicine, there is a lack of effective platforms to simulate synergistic mechanisms and predict efficacy, which hinders the development of personalized precision treatment.

[0049] Furthermore, step S4 involves rolling updates and calibrations of the state vector and model parameters of the personalized multi-scale digital twin. Specifically, this includes: performing a first-order Taylor expansion on the nonlinear system and using an extended Kalman filter framework to process the high-dimensional nonlinear evolution characteristics of the personalized multi-scale digital twin for parameter estimation; when there is a prediction deviation between the actual monitoring data and the model prediction data, applying Bayes' theorem to update the probability distribution of the model parameters and integrating the calibrated new parameters back into the multi-dimensional digital twin model to compensate for the prediction error.

[0070] Currently, the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis mainly rely on clinical experience and standard treatment guidelines. For moderate to severe psoriasis, biologics such as IL-17A inhibitors have become important treatment methods. In basic research, animal models or in vitro cell models are typically used to study pathogenesis and screen drugs. Although some computer-aided technologies have been used for medical image analysis or pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic modeling, these models are mostly general and non-personalized, unable to integrate multi-dimensional, cross-scale vital sign data of patients. Meanwhile, although digital twin technology has been applied in industry, in the clinical application of complex chronic diseases like psoriasis, there is still no dynamic evolutionary personalized system that can integrate molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ information. The existing psoriasis research models, clinical treatment protocols, and computer-aided analysis technologies have the following shortcomings:
[0071] First, the research model is distorted: traditional animal or cell models cannot fully simulate the complex pathophysiological process of human psoriasis and have limitations in reflecting individual differences and the long-term effects of drugs.
[0072] Secondly, the treatment plan lacks foresight: clinical treatment is mostly "trial and error", making it difficult to accurately predict the long-term response of a specific patient to biologics before treatment, and it is impossible to predict and explain the phenomenon of efficacy decay.
[0073] Third, the data is not being fully utilized: the massive amount of multimodal data generated by clinical diagnosis and treatment has not been effectively integrated and deeply mined, making it impossible to form a complete view that dynamically reflects the evolution of the disease.
[0074] Fourth, there is a lack of combined drug simulation platforms: for novel therapies such as the combination of biological agents and traditional Chinese medicine, there is a lack of effective platforms to simulate synergistic mechanisms and predict efficacy, which hinders the development of personalized precision treatment.
[0075] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a digital twin-driven personalized diagnosis and treatment method and system for psoriasis. On the one hand, by collecting multimodal cross-scale data, a personalized multi-scale digital twin containing multi-dimensional model coupling is constructed, transforming static data into a complete view that dynamically reflects the evolution of the disease. On the other hand, by inputting pharmacological models for virtual stimulus simulation, the long-term efficacy of single drugs and their attenuation inflection points can be prospectively and dynamically extrapolated, and the synergistic effect of combination drugs can be evaluated using a modified Bliss model. Furthermore, by extending the Kalman filter framework to access newly added monitoring data for rolling updates, truly achieving accurate recommendations for personalized diagnosis and treatment plans.
[0076] To illustrate the technical solution of this application, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0077] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides an overall flowchart of a digital twin-driven personalized diagnosis and treatment method for psoriasis.
[0078] Specifically, the aforementioned digital twin-driven personalized treatment method for psoriasis may include the following steps S1 to S4.
[0079] Step S1: Multimodal data acquisition and preprocessing: Collect multimodal cross-scale medical data of psoriasis patients, and standardize, clean and denoise the multimodal cross-scale medical data and extract features to generate personalized feature datasets.
[0080] The system acquires patients' skin imaging data, clinical information, and laboratory biochemical indicators in real time or periodically through edge hardware devices. By standardizing the data to eliminate differences in data format between different devices and hospitals, and removing artifacts and noise, it extracts key geometric, thermodynamic, and immunological features to form a personalized feature dataset specific to the individual, providing a data foundation for the subsequent construction of a high-fidelity digital twin.
[0081] Step S2, Multidimensional Digital Twin Model Construction and Order Reduction: Based on the personalized feature dataset, a multidimensional digital twin model including a geometric model, a physical model, a behavioral model, and a rule model is constructed; the underlying data interaction method of variable transfer and constraint correction is used to couple the models, and the intrinsic orthogonal decomposition method is used to reduce the order of the models to construct a personalized multi-scale digital twin.
[0082] In this step, the specific model building and underlying data interaction coupling process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in stage 1:
[0083] First, a physical model is constructed. Based on the skin thermodynamic data in the personalized feature dataset, a skin heat conduction model is built using the Pennes bioheat transfer equation to calculate and output the local temperature field of the skin tissue. The Pennes bioheat transfer equation is as follows:
[0084] ;
[0085] in, c These represent the density, specific heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of skin tissue, respectively. Tissue temperature that varies with space and time; It is a time variable; Blood perfusion rate; , These are blood density, specific heat capacity, and arterial blood temperature, respectively. It is the metabolic heat production rate per unit volume of tissue; It is a divergence operator. It is a gradient operator. Through this equation, it is possible to accurately simulate the increased microcirculation blood flow and abnormal temperature distribution characteristics in psoriatic lesions caused by local inflammation.
[0086] Simultaneously, based on the mechanical property data in the personalized feature dataset, a skin biomechanical model is constructed using the Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic model to calculate the strain energy density of the skin tissue. The strain energy density function expression of the Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic model is as follows:
[0087] ;
[0088] in, It is the strain energy per unit volume; and These are material constants obtained by fitting experimental data, reflecting the shear behavior of the material; and These are the first and second isochoric strain invariants, respectively, which are calculated from the deformation gradient tensor; It is the bulk modulus of a material, describing its compressibility; It is the determinant of the deformation gradient tensor, representing volume changes. This model aims to digitally characterize the changes in the mechanical properties of skin lesions caused by epidermal thickening and hyperkeratosis in psoriasis patients.
[0089] Secondly, a behavioral model is constructed. Combining cell proliferation rate parameters regulated by local inflammatory factor concentrations, cell apoptosis rate parameters regulated by pro-apoptotic factor concentrations, and maximum cell carrying density, the ordinary differential equation describing the net growth of the cell population is solved. The state evolution data of the behavioral model over time is then calculated and output. The ordinary differential equation is as follows:
[0090] ;
[0091] in, This refers to the number or density of cells. It is a time variable; This is a parameter representing the cell proliferation rate, which is a dynamic function regulated by the concentration of local inflammatory factors. The apoptosis rate parameter is affected by the concentration of pro-apoptotic factors. The maximum cell carrying density characterizes the contact inhibition effect. This equation precisely describes the process of excessive proliferation and abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes unique to psoriasis.
[0092] In this process, the physical model and the behavioral model use a low-level data interaction method of variable passing: the local temperature field output by the physical model is used as the input parameter of the kinetic equation in the behavioral model, and the reaction rate constant that changes with temperature in the kinetic equation is determined by the Arrhenius equation.
[0093] ;
[0094] in, For local temperature field The changing reaction rate constant; It is a pre-exponential factor for biochemical reactions; It is the activation energy of a biochemical reaction; It is the ideal gas constant; This represents the local temperature transferred from the physical model. This transfer mechanism directly maps macroscopic thermodynamic changes into physical alterations in microscopic cellular metabolic rates.
[0095] Finally, a rule-based model is constructed and a hybrid decision-making process is implemented. A psoriasis medical knowledge graph, stored in a graph database as triples, is built; a hybrid decision-making mechanism is established between the rule-based model and a data-driven machine learning model. When prediction conflicts occur, dynamic weights are calculated for weighted fusion, and the weighted fusion calculation formula is as follows:
[0096] ;
[0097] in, For the final decision result; The prediction result of the rule model; The prediction result of the machine learning model; and The weights are dynamic, and their magnitude is determined by the confidence level of the machine learning model, the evidence level of the rule, and the success rate of historical decisions.
[0098] Regarding the coupling between the rule model and the behavior model, a constraint correction approach is adopted: when the simulation results of the behavior model exceed the physiological range defined by the medical knowledge graph, a penalty term is applied to the optimization objective function of the behavior model, and the parameters are updated using the gradient descent algorithm.
[0099] ;
[0100] in, and These are the behavior model parameters before and after the update; The learning rate; The gradient of the loss function; This is a penalty function derived from the rule-based model; its value increases sharply when the parameters cross the knowledge boundary. This is the penalty coefficient.
[0101] Step S3, Virtual Treatment Simulation and Efficacy Prediction: Input the pharmacological model into the personalized multi-scale digital twin for stimulation simulation; wherein, for single-drug stimulation simulation, the efficacy decay process is dynamically deduced based on a preset triggering mechanism to output the long-term efficacy prediction curve and decay inflection point; for combined drug stimulation simulation, the final predicted effect of combined drug is calculated by introducing a modified Bliss independence model with synergistic interaction terms.
[0102] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 For a single drug (such as an IL-17A inhibitor), the immunogenicity accumulation index within the twins is calculated. When it exceeds the anti-drug antibody production threshold, the concentration of anti-drug antibodies is determined, and the dynamic increase in drug clearance is calculated accordingly, thereby extrapolating the effective blood drug concentration decline curve. When the first derivative of the long-term efficacy prediction curve turns from negative to positive, and the second derivative reaches a local positive maximum, it is determined as the efficacy decay inflection point.
[0103] For combination therapy (such as biological agents like IL-17A inhibitors combined with active ingredients from traditional Chinese medicines like Xiaozheng Decoction), the comprehensive regulatory effect vector of the second drug is first calculated using matrix multiplication:
[0104] ;
[0105] in, This represents the overall regulatory effect vector of the second drug; is the effective concentration vector of the second drug; is the component-target interaction strength matrix characterizing the intensity of the component's effect on the target. The target-pathway influence matrix is used to characterize the weight of the target's influence on the pathway.
[0106] Subsequently, the final predicted effects were summed using a modified Bliss independence model:
[0107] ;
[0108] in, The final predicted effect of combined drug use; This is the first independent effect of the first drug; The second independent effect of the second drug (based on) Sure); The collaborative interaction item is used to characterize the collaborative relationship.
[0109] Before outputting the final curve, it is also like Figure 3 As shown in stages 2 and 3, a recurrent generative adversarial network containing a generator and a discriminator is used for domain adaptive optimization to align the source domain data of the Siamese simulation. Compared with real clinical target domain data Its total loss function is:
[0110] ;
[0111] in, The total loss function for generating the adversarial network is generated iteratively; and These are two generators in the network; and These are the two corresponding discriminators; For an adversarial loss function with gradient penalty; Let this be the cycle consistency loss function; is the weighting coefficient for the cycle consistency loss.
[0112] Step S4, Model Rolling Update and Solution Output: Obtain new monitoring data of the psoriasis patients, use the extended Kalman filter framework in combination with the new monitoring data to perform rolling updates and calibrations on the state vector and model parameters of the personalized multi-scale digital twin, and output personalized treatment recommendation solutions based on the long-term efficacy prediction curve and the final prediction effect.
[0113] Since the human body is a high-dimensional nonlinear system, this embodiment performs a first-order Taylor expansion on the nonlinear system and uses an extended Kalman filter framework combined with detection constraints to handle its evolutionary characteristics. When there is a deviation between the actual monitoring data and the model prediction data, Bayes' theorem is applied to update the probability distribution of the model parameters, and the calibrated new parameters are integrated back into the twin to compensate for the error. This ensures that the treatment recommendation plan output by the system always closely follows the patient's real-time vital signs and changes.
[0114] To verify the accuracy of the diagnostic and treatment plan and efficacy prediction model described in this invention, such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment extracts real clinical follow-up data (PASI score) from the historical validation set and compares it with the virtual prediction results of the digital twin. The comparison graph of the PASI score prediction at 24 weeks and the real follow-up shows that this system accurately reproduces the efficacy decline trend. Furthermore, in the PASI 75 response prediction, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the model of this invention reached 0.92, significantly better than the 0.75 of the traditional statistical model. In addition, the MSE convergence curve of the machine learning model indicates that the model has good generalization ability, and the overall predictive efficacy (RMSE, MAE, R²) all meet the clinically usable standards.
[0115] Please refer to Figure 2 This application provides a module structure diagram of a digital twin-driven personalized psoriasis diagnosis and treatment system. Specifically, the digital twin-driven personalized psoriasis diagnosis and treatment system for performing the above methods may include:
[0116] The data acquisition module is used to collect multimodal, cross-scale medical data of psoriasis patients and perform standardization, cleaning and noise reduction, and feature extraction to generate personalized feature datasets.
