High Performance Computing AI Innovation Challenge

Name of the competition: High Performance Computing AI Innovation Challenge 2023

About the competition: The High Performance Computing AI Innovation Challenge (HPCIC) is an annual event organised by the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore.  NSCC aims to give top innovators access to exclusive high performance computing power to bring their vision to life and accelerate solutions in these four key domains:

  • Manufacturing, Trade, and Connectivity
  • Human Health & Potential
  • Smart Nation & Digital Economy
  • Urban Solutions and Sustainability

Date of the competition: November 2023 to July 2024

Achievement: 1st Runner-Up

Prize: $2500

REP Student: Kee Chong Wei

Product/Proposal: Twin Heart. Software aimed to provide remote access to comprehensive cardiac analysis by creating a "digital twin" of a person's cardiovascular system.

Description:

Leveraging the high-performance computing power allocated to the team, they utilized computational fluid dynamics and machine learning to provide a comprehensive assessment of a patient's cardiovascular system. This enables doctors to gain a deeper understanding of the patient's heart condition.

The software allows users to input data such as age, blood pressure, heart rate, and a CT scan of their heart. The team then uses an advanced physics-driven AI model to analyze this information to determine if the user is at risk of cardiac disease.
