Clinicians and data scientists collaborate to address real-world critical care issues and improve patient care.
The Discovery Datathon is an innovative multiprofessional collaboration, bringing together clinicians, professional data scientists, and data science students to tackle real-world critical care challenges. This event blends clinical insights with cutting-edge data science, paving the way for transformative advancements in critical care.
Participants leverage de-identified critical care electronic health record datasets, design studies, modify their strategies, enhance their models, and present their findings to judges. This collaborative approach promotes multiprofessional education, preparing participants to work effectively in the increasingly complex landscape of data science and its applications.
As big data and machine learning continue advancing to revolutionize healthcare, datathons provide vital educational opportunities to improve the care of critically ill patients and the world around us.
Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Datathon!
Information on the 2025 Datathon winners will be posted soon!

| Using a Large Multicenter ICU Dataset: Are There Differences in Frequency of Nursing Documentation with Respect to Hospital Mortality Independent of Illness Severity? Is This Relationship Modified Among Underrepresented Minorities? Topic: Health Equity and Diversity Team #2 | What Is the Impact of Mechanical Power on Cardiogenic Shock? Topic: Patient Outcomes and Risk Stratification Team #3 | Predicting Extubation Failure in the ICU Topic: Treatment Optimization Team #5 |
Three teams were selected as winners, one from each category (healthy equity and diversity, patient outcomes and risk stratification, and treatment optimization). The winning teams have the opportunity to present at the 2025 Critical Care Congress in Orlando, Florida. Attend Congress to support their hard work and to continue to advance critical care research.
