<br>
MISSION: <br>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
The HEAD workshop would explore the open challenges and
current issues surrounding the <br>
application of ICT technologies, while bridging the gap
between healthcare innovation and <br>
the hardware and software systems that support scalable
and reliable computing. HEAD aims to <br>
encourage interdisciplinary discussion about how
technologies such as HPC, distributed systems <br>
and performance optimisation can facilitate the deployment
of reliable and scalable Digital <br>
Twins for healthcare. The workshop will highlight the role
of computing infrastructures as key <br>
enablers of future digital medicine by linking algorithmic
advances with architectural and <br>
systems-level innovations. <br>
<br>
