ARC LAUREATE FELLOWSHIP FOR SVETHA
VENKATESH
Recently Prof S Venkatesh, has been
awarded an ARC Laureate Fellowship by
the Australian Research Council (ARC).
The Fellowship will provide over $3 M in
funding to support a project that aims
to determine how pattern recognition
can be harnessed to accelerate and
expand the capability of experimental
optimisation that underpins scientific
innovation.
How do predictive
algorithms work
and how can
they improve
the quality and
efficiency in clinical
procedures?
Predictive algorithms
have huge potential
to drastically improve
hospital efficiency.

The interesting part
is that medical data
is not recorded in the
text but a code which
adds huge value for the
machines. The codified
data that is ready with
information is then put
to use by the machines
for predictive analysis.
The predicative
potential of EMR is
therefore huge for
clinical procedures.
You are going to
have the patient’s
journey across years
and they can start
asking questions
as well as find the
answers. For these
questions, one earlier
had to do experiments
