Building Hospital Digital Twins

DETAILS:
The Julius von Haast Fellowships, the Department of Engineering Science and Biomedical Engineering (Waipapa Taumata Rau), Te Pūnaha Matatini and the AI in Health Research Network are supporting a first-of-its-kind build-your-own whole-of-hospital digital twin workshop. On both days we will walk workshop participants through components of our generic whole-of-hospital digital twin, gathering their feedback along the way. We will then support them to “wrangle” their data into a format suitable for the generic hospital digital twin implementation (in the open source discrete-event simulation package JaamSim). Then, we will help them import their data into the digital twin model, thus creating a customised digital twin for their own hospital. Finally, we will test the customised digital twin and work with our participants to run scenarios and gather salient metrics from their digital twin.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This event is designed for decision makers and/or people who support decision makers in hospital environments. Digital twins are digital copies of real-world systems that enable people to “play” (a.k.a. experiment) with possible improvements to those systems without the expense of a real-world pilot. The expectation is that each workshop participant will bring their own dataset relating to at least one of the departments being modelled, i.e., ED, patient transit, radiology, Surgery, ICU, and/or wards.

REGISTRATION:
Please register your interest by emailing Mike O’Sullivan at michael.osullivan@auckland.ac.nz. Space will be limited to 10-12 participants.
