OKFNau == Open Knowledge Foundation Australia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Fiona Tweedie Date: Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 7:13 AM Subject: [@OKFNau] HealthHack Melbourne To: okfn-au@lists.okfn.org Hello lovely Melbourne friends! We've got an exciting event coming up at the end of October, a weekend long hackathon bringing together medical researchers and people with clever techy skills to tackle some real problems in health research. Example problems include: - I use multiple online data sets but I don't have a good way of knowing when I have looked at all the available information. I'd like an intuitive search panel that allows me to select exactly what I need, and report back all the relevant results - I generate vast quantities of data; I would like a visualisation panel that lets me quickly and easily compare multiple data sets against each other - I regularly search for information about disease occurrence; I'd like a tool that reports on aspects of previous research, e.g. statistical significance, number of patients, number Or you might just do an exploration of an interesting dataset without a fixed goal. So if you are great at data visualisation, data management or analytics (or have other great skills like data journalism and can coax the story out of a dataset) we'd love to see you there!
