A critical care Datathon is an event where multidisciplinary teams and international experts join forces to investigate clinical questions using large datasets of electronic health records.
In addition, they have the chance to expand their knowledge of data, learn new ways to answer clinical questions and create connections!
The fourth edition of the ESICM Critical Care Datathon will happen digitally, between 6 May and 3 June.
