Abstract Submission Guidelines |
Abstract submission: 1 Sep 2022 – 25 Nov 2022
Abstract selection: 26 Nov 2022
Team leaders (clinical or data expert) can submit abstracts as an individual or as part of a team.
-
Individual team leaders whose abstracts are selected will be matched with registered data scientists on 2 Dec 2022 to form teams. Please note that you should still apply to gain access to datasets prior to 2 Dec 2022.
-
Teams should not reuse project problem statements that they have previously published or have already been working on for a long time, but instead to propose new problem statements for the Datathon. A declaration will be required during submission to assert the above.
All abstracts will be reviewed by our scientific mentor panel, who will evaluate abstracts based on the novelty and impact of the proposed problem statement.
Deadline: 2 Dec 2022
All teams must apply for (and obtain) access to the datasets that they intend to use before the start of the Datathon. Teams are only allowed to use public datasets that the event supports, as listed in the Datasets page.
Datasets come from a wide spectrum, and include Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) as well as clinical text-to-medical images. We will also support teams with cloud services to facilitate computation.
If you are applying as an individual, please ensure you have access to all datasets listed before 2 December 2022, when you will be matched to a team.
Physical teams will congregate and participate in the event at NUS ISS.
Virtual teams will participate in the event online.
Teams will be utilising available datasets to produce preliminary results to validate the feasibility and clinical impact of their proposed solution.
For details program, please refer to the agenda page.
Presentations start on: 4 Dec 2022, 6PM (GMT+8)
All teams will need to prepare a 5-minute presentation by the evening of 4 Dec 2022 for the final judging.
- Local (in-person) teams will present to the jury panel directly at 1630 on 4 Dec 2022. All slides must be submitted by 1600 4 Dec 2022.
- International (online) teams will be required to submit a pre-recorded presentation video and upload it into the Microsoft Teams Final Video Submission channel by 4 Dec 2022, 6PM (GMT+8, Singapore time).
Decisions are released on: 4 Dec 2022, 10PM (GMT+8).
Please refer to this page for results.
Teams are evaluated based on the following criteria:
- Clinical relevance and impact: how your solution may influence or improve current healthcare practice
- Method novelty (not complexity)
- Initial results
- Next steps (a proposal for putting your plan into action)
