| GridSystems’
solutions provide the answer to the growing demand for
large processing power to handle the increasing amount
of digital data in the health industry. Computer based
drug design, medical imaging, and medical simulations
are some of the areas in need of a more technologically
advanced solution. GridSystems’ solutions help create
an environment where information ranging from molecule
analysis to population-wide studies can be associated
in order to provide individualized healthcare.
Some examples of medical processes that imply a growing
need for grid solutions are: analysis of 2D, 3D images,
clinical trials, medical simulations, etc. For example,
physicians can plug in data involving patients with high
blood pressure and diabetes and, then, run various scenarios
using grid distributed computing. This approach rapidly
determines the benefits or disadvantages of alternative
prescriptions. Another example refers to medical imaging
diagnostics through grid computation. It allows a cardiologist,
for example, to compare her patient’s heart with
thousands of heart models, enabling the doctor to characterize
the heart of the patient, make a better diagnose, check
the effectiveness of a treatment, and even use real-time
simulations in the course of a surgical procedure. Grid
solutions provide health-care companies and medical institutions
the possibility to improve their research and production
processes and to offer more effective services to their
customers. |
