Every year, students from the Med-i CREATE training program collaboration between Queen’s and Western University participate in a three-week table-top challenge. Organized by Perk Lab members Rebecca Hisey and Elizabeth Klosa, the 2024 competition offered students an opportunity to apply their academic expertise to challenge current real-world issues in the field of biomedical informatics.
The challenge put to the test the students’ technical and teamworking skills, as teams collaborated to complete tasks such as tool detection and workflow recognition of a central line insertion.
Congratulations to the 2024 Med-i CREATE Table Top Challenge Winners:
