The Emergency Department (ED) represents the first stage of the path for some patients in a hospital. The JUNEAU project aims to propose a Digital Twin (DT) for the ED to both visualise the service behaviour in quasi real-time, forecast and anticipate its behaviour to control the "Emergency throughput time" indicator. This DT will be centred on the "patient pathway" view, which needs to first precise necessary data and information and decision support. The project will tackle this issue with a particular attention on exploring the DT architecture (with the help or holonic architecture), on coupling centralised and decentralised approaches to obtain a model as close as possible to the system dynamics and on managing DT evolution in a complex environment.
