Thailand Health AI Pre Datathon Workshop

Khon Kaen University, Thailand

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.
