“…Overall, the responses from the participants indicated that the learning experiences in the datathons involved appreciation of cross-disciplinary collaboration, excitement around what data science could achieve, and realisation of how they could better prepare themselves for a data-enriched future of healthcare. The first theme is consistent with the learning experiences reported by Pathanasethpong et al 12 and the latter two are concordant with general observations made by those who have hosted datathons 3 7…”

“…However, the analysis thus far is limited by small sample sizes at individual events, and singular geographical settings 7 10 11. Furthermore, while a hackathon has been demonstrated to be a suitable venue for interprofessional education and collaboration12 similar research focusing on datathons is lacking. The aim of this research is to evaluate and explore the learning outcomes of three datathons.…”

PurposeHealthcare datathons are events in which cross-disciplinary teams leverage data science methodologies to address clinical questions using large datasets. The aim of this research was to evaluate participant satisfaction and learning outcomes of datathons.MethodsA multicentre cross-sectional study was performed using survey data from datathons conducted in Sydney, Australia (April 2018) n=98, Singapore (July 2018) n=169 and Beijing, China (December 2018) n=200.Participants (n=467) completed an online confidential survey at the end of the datathons which contained the Affective Learning Scale, and measures of event satisfaction, perceived knowledge gain, as well as free text responses, and participants’ demographic background. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Thematic analysis was performed on the text responses.ResultsThe overall response rate was 64% (301/467). Participants were mostly male (70%); 50.2% were health professionals and 49.8% were data scientists.Based on the Affective Learning Scale (7-point Likert type scale), participants reported a positive learning experience (M = 5.93, SD = 1.21), satisfaction for content and subject matter of the datathon (M = 5.81, SD = 1.17), applying behaviours (M = 4.71, SD =2.02), instruction from mentors (M = 6.01, SD = 1.18), and intention to participate in future datathons (M = 6.03, SD = 1.23).The MANOVA showed significant differences between health professionals and data scientists in perceived knowledge gain from the datathons. Themes from text responses emerged: (1) cross-disciplinary collaboration; (2) improving healthcare using data science and (3) preparations for big data analytics.ConclusionsDatathons provide a satisfying learning experience for participants and promote affective learning, cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge gain in health data science.

“…Hackathons are innovative events traditionally focused on technology design and development, and task participants with posing solutions centered around a theme in team-based collaborative settings [15,16]. As they are increasingly applied to the field of medicine, the emphasis of teamwork and collaboration in hackathons can also be harnessed to encourage community building among students around curricular themes [12,[16][17][18].…”

“…Competições conferem vantagens em termos de perspectivas profissionais, já que instigam o desenvolvimento de habilidades importantes para o futuro profissional [7]. Estudos realizados com pré-universitários nos EUA mostram que a participação de alunos em competições nas áreas de ciência, tecnologia, engenharia e matemática (coletivamente abreviadas como "STEM", do inglês "Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics") se correlaciona com o interesse desses participantes em seguir a carreira em STEM, área com perspectiva de crescente demanda nos próximos anos [8].…”
