Abstract: Retrofitting healthcare facilities to suit the changing requirements and industry standards is a crucial endeavour. Against this background, integrating digital twinning technology has become a viable way to transform the retrofitting procedure. This study explores the significant influence of digital twinning on the renovation of healthcare facilities, illuminating the revolutionary possibilities of this creative strategy. Real-time observation, analysis, and simulation of a healthcare facility's structural and operational elements are made possible by digital twinning technology, which builds a virtual image of the real thing. This paper investigates the many consequences of digital twinning within healthcare infrastructure retrofitting through an extensive assessment of the literature, analysis, and evaluation of real-world implementations. According to the research, digital twinning could completely change how healthcare infrastructure is maintained and updated. By providing a virtual representation of the physical space, healthcare administrators can model, optimize, and continuously monitor the systems and layout of the facility, which eventually leads to increased operational efficiency. It also makes it easier to find areas where costs can be cut, enhances the way patients are cared for, and guarantees that the ever-changing rules and guidelines governing healthcare are strictly followed.
