Subject: Help Spread the Word about the 2nd International Critical Care Data Marathon


My name is Sara Raju and I work in association with MIT's student run organization, Hacking Medicine. We are collaborating with the MIT Laboratory for Computational Physiology to hold the 2nd Annual Critical Care Data Marathon (Hackathon) on September 5th - 7th at the MIT Stata Center and we would love to include MIT Biology students at our event.

Details:
In collaboration with Hacking Medicine, the MIT Laboratory for Computational Physiology is holding the second International Critical Care Data Marathon in the MIT Stata Center September 5th - 7th. Once again, we will be bringing together clinical providers (nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and physicians) with data scientists to address clinically relevant questions in a large clinical database over the course of a weekend.

Participants will have the opportunity to work with a large, open-access ICU database called MIMIC (created in collaboration with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), MIT, and Philips Healthcare). MIMIC has attracted both clinicians and data scientists who have partnered on prior productive studies which have included examination of practice variability, heterogeneity of treatment effect, cost analyses, and predictive modeling--among others. During this brief 48 hours, teams of clinicians and data scientists will generate novel questions to address which will hopefully result in lasting relationships and clinically relevant projects.

You can register here<http://criticaldata.mit.edu/events/marathon/register.php> for the data marathon. The registration deadline is July 31, 2014.

Please feel free to pass along, or put interested parties in touch with us! We look forward to seeing you at the marathon!
