Simon R. Chapple is a highly experienced solution architect and lead software engineer with more than 25 years of developing innovative solutions and applications in data analysis and healthcare informatics. He is also an expert in supercomputer HPC and big data processing. Simon is the chief technology officer and a managing partner of Datalytics Technology Ltd, where he leads a team building the next generation of a large scale data analysis platform, based on a customizable set of high performance tools, frameworks, and systems, which enables the entire life cycle of data processing for real-time analytics from capture through analysis to presentation, to be encapsulated for easy deployment into any existing operational IT environment. Previously, he was director of Product Innovation at Aridhia Informatics, where he built a number of novel systems for healthcare providers in Scotland, including a unified patient pathway tracking system that utilized ten separate data system integrations for both 18-weeks Referral To Treatment and cancer patient management (enabling the provider to deliver best performance on patient waiting times in Scotland). He also built a unique real-time chemotherapy patient mobile-based public cloud-hosted monitoring system undergoing clinical trial in Australia, which is highly praised by nurses and patients, "its like having a nurse in your living room… hopefully all chemo patients will one day know the security and comfort of having an around-the-clock angel of their own." Simon is also a coauthor of the ROpenCL open source package—enabling statistics programs written in R to exploit the parallel computation within graphics accelerator chips.
