  • 3 Challenges:

    • Challenge 1:
      • This challenge aims to utilize Electronic Health Records along with medical imaging data to build a supervised neural network to identify abnormalities with placenta and umbilical cord (e.g., Velamentous cord insertion). Required: Experience with Convolutional Neural Networks (NN), Multimodal NNs, PyTorch (or Tensorflow), and Python
    • Challenge 2:
      • This challenge aims to create an intelligent assistant to allow patients and guardians to search for critical pieces of information within patient records (e.g., after visit summaries, labs) for immediate and direct response. Required: Experience with Large Language Models (e.g., GPT-3) and JavaScript.
    • Challenge 3:
      • This challenge aims to develop an affordable and portable pain condition, type, and intensity assessment device based on predictive modeling and portable electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets. Required: Experience with IoT, Biomedical Signal Processing, and Edge Computing.
