Problem Statement
As Canada’s aging population grows rapidly, effective chronic disease management becomes more crucial for enhancing quality of life and promoting long-term independence. As life expectancy increases, so does the need for innovative solutions that address the challenges of aging in a sustainable and inclusive manner. Recognizing this, Open Science is pivotal in advancing research and technology-driven strategies that promote health and well-being among the aging population.
Open Data, including datasets on genetic markers, health indicators, environmental conditions, and socioeconomic factors, provides valuable opportunities to address longevity and aging-related challenges. By leveraging this information, researchers and policymakers can gain deeper insights into chronic disease progression and develop tailored interventions that improve patient outcomes and healthcare systems’ efficiency.
We challenge undergraduate and graduate students from any discipline to harness data science and artificial intelligence to develop data-driven solutions that support aging populations and improve chronic disease management. By leveraging advanced analytics and predictive modelling, participants explore topics ranging from AI-driven drug discovery to optimizing community infrastructure for an aging population.
