2016 MD2K Annual Meeting

The 3rd Annual MD2K All Hands Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 4 and Wednesday, October 5 at the FedEx Institute of Technology on the University of Memphis campus. The MD2K Annual Meeting is the only annual event where all MD2K team members are required to attend in person. Attendees will include MD2K team members, Center staff, NIH/NSF officials, other BD2K team members, and University of Memphis officials.

The goals of the annual meeting are to interact face-to-face with other team members, share and learn the progress made so far, review/revise the policies and procedures of the Center, and chart the direction for the future of MD2K. Specifically, we will look to

♦ reflect on the lessons learned in Year 2

♦ review the Center operational procedures and policies

♦ create the milestones for success moving forward

♦ explore collaborative synergies within the BD2K consortium and industry

♦ identify MD2K’s place in the precision medicine initiative

♦ solidify the benchmarks that will be used to track progress throughout this project period

The Annual meeting will have a similar format to previous years' meetings, including: the MD2K business meeting, breakout sessions dedicated to individual Thrust work, and networking & Team Science building activities. A MD2K Hands-On Software Training Day will be held for all doctoral students, post-docs, junior faculty, and study staff the day prior to the official kick-off of the business meeting on Monday, October 3.

Hands-On Software Training Day

FedEx Institute of Technology - Memphis, TN
October 3, 2016

Course Description

The MD2K Hands-On Software Training course provides a hands-on introduction to our smartphone platform (mCerebrum) and our cloud platform (Cerebral Cortex). The day will begin with every participant receiving a set of hardware to wear and going through a tutorial on putting everything on and configuring mCerebrum to collect, process, and upload data.  The remainder of the day will continue to utilize the ongoing data collection to demonstrate and explain components of the platforms.

Subsequent sessions will provide more in-depth discussion of various components of mCerebrum and Cerebral Cortex suitable for both the health-science and data-science communities. It will highlight key components including: DataKit, a public data bus capable of transporting 3 million samples per hour, how we achieve real-time marker computation, various significant data streams with details to specific algorithms presented by their respective authors, and the various human interface mechanisms we support and enable with mCerebrum.

The afternoon will explore how Cerebral Cortex’s interface can be utilized to monitor ongoing studies and participants, how to export data from the cloud system for analysis in a variety of tools, the specifics of how data is inserted into the platform, some of the back-end data processing mechanisms including a data diagnostics tool designed to identify failures from analyzing various data streams, and finally how we train our models for the cStress and puffMarker algorithms.

The day will conclude with an overview of the future directions we wish to take the platform including new capabilities and features and a discussion of how one can contribute to the system.
