Committed to World Class Care, Cleveland Clinic is collaborating with InnoCentive to fast-track novel solutions to health care and biomedical research problems. The Cleveland Clinic Medical Pavilion highlights current barriers to treatments and cures. Challenges specifically designed by Cleveland Clinic physicians and researchers to optimize care and combat disease are available to the InnoCentive community of solvers.
Help us to solve Challenges that have been pre-screened for having the greatest potential impact on improving healthcare!
The Seeker wishes to build a model that will predict the scale of fluid loss resulting from damage to a highly branched network of conduits. Several obvious variables such as vessel diameter are known to influence the scale of fluid loss. The Seeker wishes to incorporate less obvious factors in a model that has a high predictive accuracy. More contextual details are included in the detailed challenge description.
This is an Ideation Challenge with a guaranteed award for at least one submitted solution.
This Challenge is seeking a theoretical design of an “early warning” sensor for blood vessels in the path of a medical probe.
This Challenge requires only a written proposal.

Given genetic variables (expression levels for ~7400 genes) and outcome data, deliver an efficient computer program that selects the most powerfully predictive variables, then uses these to accurately predict outcomes. Acceptable solutions must be implemented as an R package, with source code delivered to the Seeker.
