Many times these crises have been impossible to predict.

They tried 20 different models to find the predictive accuracy required.

The alert allows doctors to decide what care a patient might need to prevent a crisis.

This data use is made possible by a partnership with the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre.

Their Setonix supercomputer is considered the 15th most powerful supercomputer in the world.

Increasingly, medical science has been informed by advances in computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
