The AEP team faced a daunting challenge: processing and analyzing 20-hour magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) workflows for participants and clinicians scattered across the country. Their solution—a serverless, container-orchestrated neuroimaging pipeline on Amazon Web Services (AWS)—has accelerated the delivery of life-changing results to clinicians and patients while reducing costs by over 35%.
Bringing precision medicine to epilepsy care nationwide
The AEP is a $30 million national Precision Medicine Initiative that combines neuropsychology, advanced MRI, and genetics testing to improve epilepsy diagnosis and treatment. With over 250,000 Australians living with epilepsy and the condition costing the economy $6.9 billion annually, the project addresses critical gaps in diagnosis accuracy and treatment access, particularly for regional and remote…
