In this blog, Iain talks about what the cognitive hospital project hopes to achieve using the power of IBM Watson technology.
Using supercomputers to simulate brain activity
The Hartree Centre’s computational capabilities are assisting Erasmus MC’s BrainFrame project in the development of an automated framework for highly detailed, real-time brain models and simulations.
Data analytics to streamline healthcare costs
The STFC Hartree Centre helped Albatross Financial Solutions optimise the patient cost benchmarking service it provides to NHS Trusts, helping them to validate and predict costs more accurately and establish best practices.
Improving aircraft design simulations with HPC
Advanced computing facilities at the STFC Hartree Centre have enabled a team led by Dr Neil Ashton from the University of Manchester to develop better aerodynamic models, which are now being presented to industry stakeholders including Boeing and NASA.
