The Society for Technology in Anesthesia is pleased to announce it's Annual Engineering Challenge to be held in conjunction with the STA 2024 Annual Meeting: Use a large language model (GPT4 is an example) to develop a score for what Steve calls a SAFE report.

The Engineering Challenge is a regular feature of the Annual Meeting, and will be held during the 2024 Annual Meeting. As always, the intent of the Challenge is to educate the membership on an area of technology.

The Rules:

At least one member of the team should be a trainee – student, resident, fellow, etc.
Presentations may be in person or remote. A member of the team must contact Dr. Mandel prior to the start of the meeting to confirm intent to present.
Should actual patient data be used in this effort, it MUST be obtained with approval of your IRB. Because this may be challenging, any entrant meeting this requirement and presenting their project will receive $500 irrespective of whether their project wins the competition.

Prizes:

First Prize: $1,000
Second Prize: $500
Third Prize: $250
