Recently there has been a surge of interest in developing Digital Twins of process flows in healthcare to better understand bottlenecks and areas of improvement. A key challenge is in the validation process. We describe a work in progress for a digital twin using an agent based simulation model for determining bed turnaround time for patients in hospitals. We employ a strategy using machine learning for validating the model and implementing sensitivity analysis.
