Objective
A team of data scientists from Booz Allen competed in an opioid hackathon and developed a prototype opioid surveillance system using data science methods. This presentation intends to 1) describe the positives and negatives of their data science approach, 2) demo the prototype applications built, and 3) discuss next steps for local implementation of a similar capability.
