Built an AI digital twin of the patient, published at an IEEE conference
Digital twins, live virtual copies of physical systems, have long been used in factories and engines. Diya brought the idea to medicine. Her framework builds an evolving virtual replica of a patient from wearable sensors and electronic health records, then uses deep sequence modeling, multimodal data fusion and reinforcement learning to forecast adverse health events, simulate personalized treatment pathways and refine care recommendations from real-world feedback. Evaluated on the MIMIC-III clinical dataset and a real-time pilot study, it improved prediction accuracy, alert latency and intervention efficacy over existing models.

A student at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, California interested in how AI could change patient care, with no published research.
First author of an AI-augmented digital twin framework for patient monitoring, published at an IEEE conference and indexed on IEEE Xplore.
