About SIIM Hackathon

The SIIM Hackathon is a collaborative, relaxed, and supportive social coding event that offers great learning opportunities from other participants and informatics professionals. Additionally, our "Code Heroes" (mentors) are available during the hackathon to provide support. It doesn't matter whether you are an experienced developer or a novice; there is a place for everyone!

Anyone can participate in the SIIM Hackathon. Any time of year.

Dataset

Real-life like dataset

It is a one of a kind synthetic dataset that marries clinical data and images in sensical, cohesive manner, instead of being completely random. With 5 patient vignettes, it is great for newbies and experienced informaticians alike.

The open-source dataset is already loaded on the cloud servers, but is also available on GitHub if you want to load it onto your servers, or even better, contribute to the dataset!
