The rapid development of biological technology (BT) and information technology (IT) especially of genomics and artificial intelligence (AI) is bringing great potential for revolutionizing future medicine. Zhang et al. proposed the concept and framework of Digital Life Systems or dLife as a new paradigm to unleash this potential. The framework aims to build cyber twins of healthy or diseased human body through quantitative measurement, informatic representation, and mathematical/computational modeling. The cyber twins can be used to simulate complex biological processes and deduce effects of medical treatments. dLife is the route toward future AI precision medicine and should be the new paradigm for future biological and medical research. For details please refer to the article by Zhang et al. in pp. 207—213.
