A selection of the public talks, peer-reviewed publications and recognition that AxoMem and our team have been involved in since 2019, sorted most recent first. We list these to show where our thinking has been shared and where customers and academic partners have applied digital twin technology in practice.
Timeline
Digital Twins in Health Care: Clinical, Ethical and Legal Perspectives
Columbia Data Science Institute · New York · co-hosted with the Columbia Masters of Bioethics Program and the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub
Sean Whiteley joined the closing panel and open discussion on "From Building to Bedside: Digital Twins, Data Fusion, and the Hard Questions" at this day-long event, exploring how data-integrated digital twins move from buildings and infrastructure into care settings, and the practical, ethical and governance questions that come with that shift.
Co-authored research in IJID Regions
AxoMem staff named as co-authors on academic research led by clinical and health-economics partners in Singapore.
3D Digital Twins in a Singapore Acute Care Hospital
IoT Solutions World Congress 2024 · Fira Barcelona Gran Via · Barcelona, Spain
At IOTSWC 2024, Sean Whiteley shared lessons from a multi-year deployment of a data-integrated 3D digital twin in one of Singapore's largest tertiary acute care hospitals - covering data integration patterns, the 3D operational interface, and what it takes to keep a twin useful at hospital scale.
Co-authored research in Open Forum Infectious Diseases
AxoMem staff named among the authors of an IDWeek 2023 conference abstract published in OFID.
Customer recognised at the National Healthcare Innovation and Productivity Medals 2023
Centre for Healthcare Innovation, Singapore
A Singapore healthcare customer was recognised at the 2023 NHIP Medals - hosted by the Centre for Healthcare Innovation - for an operational digital twin built on the AxoMem platform. We are proud to have provided the underlying digital twin technology that enabled this customer's award-winning work.
Co-authored research in Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Digital Health
AxoMem staff named as co-authors on a peer-reviewed proof-of-concept study describing a 3D hospital surveillance system.
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.
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.
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.
