VSC Industry Road Tour: HPC meets Digital Health [cancelled]

*Due to the current COVID situation, this event has been canceled. A new dated will be scheduled later. For questions, please reach out to tim.jaenen@fwo.be

The Flemish Supercomputer Center (VSC - Vlaams Supercomputer Centrum) organises, as part of their VSC Industry Road Tour, and in collaboration with the uHasselt Data Science Institute, BioVille and Van Havermaet Medici, on December 13 a live networking session, themed around health.

As the volume of data available to the health industry grows, so do the opportunities to make ground-breaking medical discoveries and introduce transformational value for patients. High Performance Computing (HPC) has already demonstrated its added value, across the health spectrum from prevention to early diagnosis to finding the best tailored treatment options and restoring health.

In this session, two specialists will introduce diverse use cases where high performance computing will play an increasingly important role in order to accomplish this digital transformation in the healthcare industry.
