Real-Time Digital Ecosystems: Integrating Virtual Personas and Digital Twins Through Microservices

This study presents a comprehensive approach for integrating Digital Twin (DT) architectures with Virtual Persona (VP) technologies into a multi-tiered, microservices-oriented framework for context-aware real-time interactions. The Eclipse Arrowhead Framework ensures seamless interoperability across several application domains, such as healthcare. The integration of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and real-time sensor data processing enables the architecture to provide intelligent, human-like interactions, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. The primary contributions include the development of a scalable, modular platform that provides real-time, role-specific responses and actionable insights that may evolve with changing circumstances. This integration of VP and DT in a microservices architecture is novel, combining human-like AI personas with digital twin sensor data in a unified real-time system. By enabling a virtual persona to interpret and respond to real-time sensor conditions, our approach adds an interactive, context-aware layer to traditional digital twin environments. The current initiative aims to facilitate digital transformation and process optimization while improving operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and strengthening decision-making in critical industries.
