From mapping stars to predicting weather patterns, Perth’s Pawsey supercomputing center has been used by the brightest minds to solve some of the most complex problems. Now researchers hope a “world first” algorithm that predicts serious brain bleeds before they happen could save lives across Australia. After working on 20 different data models, a team created one that could predict if a brain bleed was imminent – giving medical staff up to 20 minutes before the brain bleed to intervene. Pawsey’s Setonix supercomputer was recently ranked the 15th most powerful computer in the world, making it Australia’s most powerful system used for research. The capability of this computer has created a model that could make the difference between life and death for brain injury patients.
