WHAT SETS THISDATATHON APART
01 · FOCUS AREAModel drift,
Model drift,
measured.
You don't get a score. You get a trajectory. Track how a deployed model degrades across sites, scanners, and populations, then build the monitor that catches it first.

your team.
Don't bring your own. Every team is 5–7 people, hand-balanced across clinical experts, data scientists, and researchers. Different lenses, sharper outcomes.

AFTER·
Symposium afterparty. Meet the speakers off-stage.
03 · THE DATA
Real data.
De-identified medical imaging from real clinical practice - the kind of messy, varied distribution you only see after a model has been deployed. Not a Kaggle leaderboard.
“When different disciplines share a table, innovation follows. That's the datathon.”
