Khon Kaen University, in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital and Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital at Mahidol University, is hosting the first Thailand Health AI Datathon from October 3 to 6, 2023. According to Professor Feng Menglin from the National University of Singapore, this will be the 50th Health AI Datathon in the world.
At the pre-datathon workshop, Professor Feng joined as an invited speaker, sharing his previous work with the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-III) data. Additionally, he shared his experiences hosting last year’s Singapore Healthcare AI Datathon & Expo 2022 (SHADE’22), raising expectations for the upcoming event.
Participants in the datathon will utilize one of the three health datasets contributed by the host institutions: the KKU Smart ICU dataset, the KKU Scleroderma dataset, and the Ramathibodi Hypertension dataset, for which I am the curator and data manager. For the event, a resampled cohort of 100,000 subjects was extracted alongside their routine clinical visit data from CEB Data Warehouse’s Hypertension Theme, with 276,500 subjects over a 13-year period.
In addition to the three institutions, domain experts from the Asia eHealth Information Network (AeHIN) and the Standards and Interoperability Lab Thailand (SIL-TH) are supporting the event alongside industry partners Clinixir and Bangkok Bank. While registrations for the Datathon have been closed, the post-datathon conference is still available for registration on the webpage until September 30, 2023.
Coverage for the pre-datathon workshop can also be found here in Thai language.
