They had an anonymized dataset of patients, with information such as the amount they had taken from various antibiotics, the time since the last episode of fever, or the list of rooms they had passed. Using &#8216;feature engineering&#8217; to forge new features (properties or columns of information), and applying the&nbsp; automatic learning models they deem most appropriate, participants should be able to predict which patients with neutropenia are more likely to contract bacteremia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2539\" alt=\"Primer premi \" src=\"https:\/\/inlab.fib.upc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/digital_health_hackathon.jpg\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inlab.fib.upc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/digital_health_hackathon.jpg 360w, https:\/\/inlab.fib.upc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/digital_health_hackathon-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The 5 teams with the most accurate predictions (calculated according to the area under the ROC curve) presented their solution to the jury.
