Despite being the most technologically advanced field in medicine, intensive care medicine lacks essential automation in pre-processing the high volume-velocity data generated. However, effectively analyzing and utilizing this complex data can support the detection of life-threatening patient conditions and enable automated monitoring of a large number of patients. Consequently, this would allow relieving the burden from physicians and enable them to spend more time with patients. Current research trends use this data volume and elaborate machine learning algorithms to extract and target the patterns present there to predict critical phases, understand complex diseases and provide smart assistance functions.
Therefore, we are pleased to organize the First Aachen EIT Health Hackathon (F.A.I.T.H) with our partners EIT Health, MIT Critical Data, Clinomic GmbH, the Universitätsklinikum Aachen – Klinik für Operative Intensivmedizin und Intermediate Care and TechLabs Aachen e.V. to give Health Care Professionals/Data Scientists/Students from the EIT Health Community and local universities the first insight into this exciting and vital field.
