Hacking Health: Covid-19

Welcome to the results of the Hacking Health Covid-19 powered by skemagloballab.io

Objectives

This site is the result of the Hacking Health: Covid-19 in which SKEMA B-School’ students participated, across several programs. During this Hacking Health, the teams of students worked on different modules involving the whole perimeter of Data Science.

This initiative is intended to be as open as possible. The core principles are open science: open data, open code and open collaboration.

Please keep in mind, this is just a pedagogical exercise. It is not intended to serve as an official consulting platform. As described below, its sole purpose is to participate to the training of a new generation of data scientists, which then may develop some expert knowledge on societal issues. Hence, they could leverage this domain expertise with data science and offer new solutions to our societies’ challenges.

Context

In these trying times for people across the world, we feel fortunate to have access to the Internet, and to be - relatively - able to pursue our mission thanks to our technologies. As a research lab, the SKEMA Global Lab in AI is also fortunate to have access to a platform dedicated to research in Data Science.

In the world context, on top of its normal operations, the Lab’s team has decided to devote some resources to open its platform, both in terms of technology and human resources, to contribute to the world conversation about Covid-19. SKEMA’ students who are interested in contributing to thi initiative are very welcome. The goal is to make a contribution to the world conversation with science at its core.

For this initiative, we want to be as open as possible in this initiative. We want to build on open data, open code, open research, and open source software as much as possible. Why? Because we want to ensure our results are at the highest level possible of reproducibility in order to allow anyone on the planet to be able to replicate, validate and augment our potential contributions.

This initiative is not an official initiative from SKEMA, it is just a pilot program in the current context. To help federate our student body, we call it Hacking Health Covid-19. Since it is just an initiative from the SKEMA Global Lab in AI, it does not provide any credit to students. The good news is: no credit, no pressure. We believe the impact on our communities is a big enough motivation.

As aforementioned, the Lab has relied on its access to a research-oriented technological platform with a wealth of courses and tutorials on data science to help students in their data journey. We hope you enjoy it!
