We are a Stanford-hosted competition bringing together students from diverse backgrounds to apply big data analytics to challenges in healthcare. Undergraduate and graduate students with interests in Healthcare, Computer Science, Economics, Mathematics, Business, or other related fields are encouraged to participate. Participants will be provided with a few cases and corresponding data sets covering the broad range of health/biotech data studied by industry and academia to address specific problems and garner meaningful insights. Participants will use deep learning and statistical models/packages to explore the data provided, and use the insights to make recommendations and qualitative models for adoption by appropriate stakeholders.

Note: You must apply by 10/21/2020 @ tinyurl.com/blueprintdatathon2020 to be eligible.

Eligibility

  • Participants: Undergraduate or graduate students at American universities; open to international students
  • Technology Needs: access to stable internet for Zoom conferencing

Requirements

Teams will be required to submit their case by 11 AM PDT Sunday, 10/25. These deliverables should summarize your analysis methods and final conclusions. Judges will select top prizes based on these deliverables. Some important things to consider in your submission include:

  • Describe the methods used
  • Interpret results, concentrating on what you learned through the Datathon
  • Emphasize challenges in carrying out the analysis
  • Illustrate the originality and novelty of your approach
