FEATURED STORIES AND PARTNERSHIPS
Surescripts Technology Challenge
Currently, public health officials rely on a number of data sources to track influenza activity; however most of the data reported are days old when accessed. The Surescripts Technology Challenge invites applicants to create an analytical engine that can use Surescripts data captured in real time to track influenza.
Surescripts is seeking individual women applicants and women team-leaders for this challenge. Men are welcome to participate as part of teams led by women. The goal is to provide a platform and help strengthen efforts underway to encourage women to lead in the areas of technology, health and science. The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) will be serving as an advisor to Surescripts for this Challenge.
XX in Health, together with Disruptive Women is proud to support this very important initiative. To apply please click here.
