Webinar talk

Data-integrated 3D Digital Twins in Acute Care Hospitals

Digital Twin Hub (UK) · Gemini Call Feature Focus · virtual

Sean Whiteley was invited to present at the UK Digital Twin Hub's Gemini Call - a regular community session run by the Digital Twin Hub (an initiative originally seeded by the Centre for Digital Built Britain and now run via Connected Places Catapult). The session walked through the architecture and real-world experience of running a data-integrated 3D digital twin inside a major acute care hospital.

Conference talk

Using Unity to Visualise Enterprise Business Data

Unite Singapore 2019 (Unity Technologies) · Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

At Unite Singapore - Unity's flagship Asia developer conference - Sean Whiteley walked through how AxoMem uses Unity as the front end for enterprise analytics. The session covered an infrastructure monitoring use case across 4,500 servers and ~100,000 time series for a large automotive customer, a geospatial 3D Earth view rendering 7,000 cities, and a live S&P 500 share-trading visualisation with positional audio. The talk closed with a live Magic Leap demo of the same datascape rendered in AR.

The talk also discussed why AxoMem chose Unity over Three.js for the next generation of the client - real multi-platform support (browser, desktop, iOS, Android, VR, AR, digital signage), a single shared core with device-specific projects, and pragmatic performance trade-offs across enterprise browsers.

Conference talk

Introducing AxoMem

Intel "One Intel" 2019 SPDK, PMDK & VTune Amplifier PRC Summit · Crowne Plaza Zhongguancun · Beijing

AxoMem was one of nine external presenters invited by Intel to its 2019 PRC developer summit, in the Persistent Memory Development Kit (PMDK) track. The session introduced AxoMem's in-memory graph engine and its use of large-memory server architectures - early signals of what would become the platform we run today.

A note on the research above: AxoMem staff have contributed as named co-authors on the peer-reviewed publications listed on this page. The research describes academic and proof-of-concept work led by our hospital, clinical and health-economics partners. AxoMem provides general-purpose digital twin platform technology; we do not market, sell or position our software as a medical device.
