The inability to share private health data can severely stifle research and innovation in health informatics. Studies based on unpublished electronic medical record (EMR) data cannot be reproduced, thus future researchers are not able to use them to develop and compare new research. This contributes to the reproduciblity crisis in biomedical research. Making open data available for research can spur innovation and research.

Please join us for a final review of our IDEA Health INCITE COVID Campus Reopening Summer Projects. During this half-hour our students presented their Summer 2020 work on COVIDMINDER, Data INCITE's COVID monitoring application (initiated in early 2020).
NOTE: Recording of these group presentations were split into two half-hour recordings.
Please join us for a final review of our IDEA Health INCITE COVID Campus Reopening Summer Projects. During this half-hour our students presented their Summer 2020 work on the COVID WarRoom and COVID Back-to-School predictive modelling apps.

In this exploratory study, we scrutinize a database of over 1 million tweets collected across the first five months of 2020 to draw conclusions about public attitudes towards the preventative measure of mask usage during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent months, a body of literature has emerged to suggest the robustness of trends in online activity as proxies for the epidemiological and sociological impact of COVID-19.
Please join us for a final review of our IDEA Health INCITE COVID Campus Reopening Summer Projects. During this hour our students presented their Summer 2020 work on campus "de-densification" and WiFi monitoring, including building and campus flow, classroom occupancy, and "SafeStudent" applications.

John Erickson, of the Institute for Data Exploration and Applications (IDEA) at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (RPI), is the lead engineer of COVIDMINDER--a graph and map-based visualization tool for COVID-19 statistics across the nation, by state and by county, with daily updates. COVIDMINDER is an outgrowth from MORTALITYMINDER which graphs and maps the demographics of mortality disparities. These projects are under the Health INCITE program at RPI with Dr. Kristen Bennett, and is funded by the United Health Foundation.
Students and staff of The Rensselaer IDEA's Health INCITE program are developing a new data visualization tool that examines how and why COVID-19 impacts regions differently.
