Fusion of Digital Twin and ML Technologies for Intelligent Respiratory Health Systems Using the Mamba Transformer Model
摘要
Respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and pulmonary fibrosis remain leading causes of global morbidity and mortality, necessitating intelligent, real-time monitoring systems. Traditional diagnostic approaches are largely reactive and fail to capture dynamic physiological variations. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel fusion framework that integrates digital twin technology with an efficient sequence-modelling architecture based on the Mamba Transformer. The proposed system constructs a patient-specific digital twin by aggregating multimodal data, including electronic health record data, spirometry signals, wearable sensor data, and medical imaging. A selective state-space Mamba model is employed to capture long-range temporal dependencies in irregular physiological time series with linear computational complexity. The framework is evaluated on a hybrid dataset comprising 1000 patients from MIMIC-IV and SpiroHealth cohorts with curated spirometry subset derived from the Figshare Raw Spirometry dataset. Experimental results demonstrate promising performance under internal validation settings with an accuracy of 96.2%, sensitivity of 94.7%, specificity of 95.8%, and F1-score of 95.1%. Additionally, the model achieves a mean absolute error of 3.6% in pulmonary function test prediction and enables early exacerbation prediction with 87.2% accuracy up to seven days in advance. The proposed system enhances predictive capability, computational efficiency, and personalization in respiratory healthcare. Future work includes large-scale clinical validation and integration with federated and edge AI systems.
