Preserving the Past Through the Future: How Digital Twins Are Transforming Heritage Conservation
Discover how digital twins are transforming heritage conservation. Historic buildings face growing threats from climate change, material decay and visitor impact, yet traditional maintenance methods are often reactive and unable to prevent long-term damage. This article explores how digital twins offer a new path to proactive preservation, giving conservation teams powerful insight without compromising historical integrity. Whether a building is centuries old or lacks detailed plans, Twinview enables conservation teams to start small and build meaningful insight step by step. With digital twins, we can shift from reactive repairs to predictive preservation, protecting authenticity while planning confidently for the future. Explore how technology can give history a digital life.

Digital Twins for Infection Control in Hospitals: Supporting Safer Healthcare Environments
Infection prevention has always been central to safe healthcare, but COVID-19 exposed how vulnerable hospitals can be to outbreaks. Digital twins like Twinview offer hospitals real-time insight into how buildings are used, from patient flow and air quality to occupancy and cleaning. By creating a live 3D model of the facility, Twinview helps teams identify high-risk areas, optimise ventilation and target cleaning where it’s needed most. It supports smarter admissions, safer waiting areas and data-driven decisions that reduce infection risks. Rather than predicting every outbreak, Twinview highlights unsafe conditions early, empowering hospitals to act fast. Integrated with IoT sensors and building systems, it enhances compliance, safety and efficiency. As digital twin technology evolves, Twinview’s potential grows, supporting AI-driven analytics, clinical integration and sustainable, infection-resilient hospital design for the future.

Designing Sensory-Aware Cleaning Schedules for SEN Students
For students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), the physical environment can deeply influence comfort, focus and wellbeing. Routine cleaning, when not planned with sensory awareness, can unintentionally cause distress, from strong chemical smells to loud equipment or sudden changes in room layout. A platform like Twinview helps schools design predictable, sensory-aware cleaning schedules by combining data on occupancy, air quality and environmental conditions. Facilities teams can identify sensitive zones, schedule low-disruption cleaning times and track improvements over time. By integrating cleaning routines into a whole-school approach to sensory wellbeing, schools can reduce stress, improve focus and create environments that feel calm, safe and inclusive. Twinview turns everyday facilities data into meaningful action, supporting schools to build spaces that are not only clean and efficient, but welcoming and accessible for every learner.
