Opportunity for Math/CS students to work with a startup

By Jessica

MedInclude is looking for CS students to help build the back-end of the thier platform from December 2022 to March 2023 (can start in January 2023 if preferred). This venture is supported by GreenHouse as a social impact venture that is simplifying medical information for newcomers (and other groups). Below is the summary of the project:



Problem

Miscommunication is the primary factor in 80% of all medical errors.

Every year, healthcare institutions spend billions of dollars worldwide on malpractice litigation, non-adherence to medication, and unnecessary care, all caused primarily by miscommunication.

Regardless of the medium, audience, or topic, oftentimes, medical information is written the same way; with a lot of medical jargon. This is ok for a peer-reviewed article but not so much for a patient discharge note or other patient-facing documents.


Target

● Patients

● Caregivers

● Physicians

● Hospital admin



Solution features

● Patient app/platform - Primary

● Physician app/platform - Secondary

● Auto transcribe complicated medical instructions to lay terminology

● Option to read transcribed instructions in multiple languages

● Integratable with existing EMR systems



Similar solutions

● Explainjargon

● Easylabs

● Easylabsdemo

 

For more information, please contact the founder, Seun Adejtunji.

GSA SPARK 2020

By Jessica
  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
