The concept of digital twins has great potential for transforming the existing health care system by making it more personalized. As a convergence care, artificial intelligence, and information communication technologies, personalized services that are developed under raise myriad ethical issues. Although some issues known to researchers working on medicine, currently, there is no comprehensive review maps major risks services.This study aims fill research gap identifying services. We first propose definition facilitate future discussions related these emerging then develop process-oriented map identify in each different data processing phases.We resorted literature eHealth, precision engineering structure inquiry systematic way. allows us see how concerns emerges during process raw into valuable information. Developers twin service may use this development stage way can proactively address them.This paper provides 3 features distinguish new application from other eHealth On basis definition, further layouts 10 operational problems corresponding risks.It challenging all might encounter without conceptual at hand. we here assist developers analyzing manner.
