Hack for a cause – AI for Safer Drug Prescriptions

We’re excited to announce a hackathon organized by our partners Cyprus Institute (CyI) and NCC Cyprus!

The “Hack for a cause” hackathon is organized by the Cyprus Institute (CyI) in collaboration with the Anticancer Society Cyprus and focuses on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve the drug prescription process for hospitalized cancer patients, particularly addressing the complexities of polypharmacy. The aim is to develop an AI tool that utilizes patients’ treatment charts—documents indicating prescribed medications, dosages, frequencies, routes, allergies, and comorbidities—along with publicly available medicine descriptions to issue high-level alerts to doctors during the prescription process. These alerts will be triggered if the tool identifies drug interactions, contraindications with the patient’s medical record, or potential overdoses.

The event will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing for both online and onsite participation from national and international attendees.

Registration for this event is open until Thursday, October 3rd 12:00pm, 2024.

NCC Montenegro hosts Supercomputing Workshops for new UDG students

As a part of the orientation week for new students, the EuroCC National Competence Centre Montenegro has organized a Supercomputing Workshop aimed at introducing incoming university students to the exciting world of high-performance computing (HPC).

The workshop featured interactive sessions where students could get insights into cutting-edge technologies used in supercomputing, such as parallel processing, intelligent algorithms, and data analytics. Experts from the NCC guided the participants through the technical fundamentals of HPC systems, demonstrated real-world applications related to Big Data processing and advanced AI modelling, but also provided examples of academic study cases and industry use cases, including Montenegro’s success stories.

The aim of the workshop was also to provide brief overview on HPC/AI related academic programs, training portfolio and NCC activities, to show how students can leverage supercomputing resources for academic projects and scientific research, or even for startup ideas and potential industry collaboration.

By exposing new students to the potential of supercomputing early in their academic journey, the NCC aims to support students’ development in high-demand, tech-driven carriers, and to foster community of innovative thinkers prepared to tackle complex and critical challenges of the modern world.

Industry collaboration with Inovativa Doo

This collaboration initiated by Inovativa, a web programming start up interested in AI powered development, focuses on leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) and different LLMs to revolutionize web design by automating key elements such as landing page creation, dynamic content generation, responsive design, and user interface optimization.

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of both commercial and open-source AI tools, comparing their capabilities and performance across various scales. Additionally, the project explores the potential for direct in-browser AI implementations, offering a more seamless and accessible approach to web development. By harnessing the power of AI and HPC, the project aspires to democratize advanced web development techniques, making them accessible to a wider audience of developers and businesses, and fostering a new era of AI-human collaboration in digital content creation.

As a collaborative effort between academic institutions and industry partners, this initiative benefits from the technical expertise of the Faculty for Information Systems and Technology from the University of Donja Gorica (FIST/UDG), which leads the AI and machine learning analysis. Meanwhile, practical testing, implementation, and economic evaluation are driven by industry specialists. High Performance Computing (HPC) plays a crucial role in managing the computational demands of evaluating advanced AI models.This collaboration highlights the integration of AI research with real-world application, aiming to enhance efficiency and innovation in web development practices.
