Informatics for Medical Devices

Through close collaboration with EGI, Cerebral Data Systems is designing computing services that extend the functionality of medical devices. A key concept is that every medical device can be expected to be networked, thereby drawing on local (hospital, clinic) and/or remote (CDS facility) information support.

Computation for Real-Time Processing 

Much of the processing required to detect patterns of brain activity registered with MRI anatomy can be conducted beforehand. However, real-time detection of brain states—whether in military performance or medical monitoring—still requires considerable high-performance computing (HPC) resources.

Linking High-Performance Computing to Medical Devices 

By designing research and medical software with portals for data passage to HPC resources, EGI is creating a new generation of medical devices that are prepared to bring advanced neuroinformatics to both neuroscience research and clinical practice.
