Critical Care Datathons aim to bring together clinicians, data scientists, researchers and innovators in healthcare to address a clinical question using large open-access datasets relevant to the delivery of intensive care services. Mentored by world leaders in health care and data science, Datathons facilitate the opportunity to explore an emerging intensive care global dataset and delve into analysing the data through collaborative problem-solving.
We welcome students and trainees alike to get involved.
In mixed teams, participants formulate and refine a clinical question, and through analysis of the dataset, attempt to answer the question to inform patient-centred outcomes or health policy decisions. Depending on the dataset used, data variables may include patient demographics, haemodynamic readings, biochemistry and blood gas results and medical interventions.

We frequently collaborate with many national and international stakeholders to facilitate delivery of Datathons, exposing participants to rich datasets and world-renowned scientific mentors.
The 2021 Critical Care Datathon will be held on the 17th – 18th July and will be co-hosted by the Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI) and partnered with the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne and the National University of Singapore.
If you’re a clinician, trainee/student, data scientist, researcher, or just interested in learning more about intensive care data, come along and get involved. Datathons are a perfect way to enhance your skills, refine a formal project idea and collaborate with diverse professionals in healthcare and data science.
Program at a glance:
*Please note, some preparatory work may be required by participants prior to start of the Datathon.
Abstract presentations are reviewed by the scientific mentors. Judging is based on clinical relevance and impact – i.e. how your solution may influence or improve current practice, the novelty and impact of the proposed problem statement, the result presentation, and the Team’s plans for the study moving forward.
