As someone with diabetic retinopathy I am very grateful for this contest. At one point my vision was 2/2200. It took a series of painful and very expensive injections directly into my eyes to shrink the retinal swelling. Fortunately I was able to afford the injections. Most diabetics just go blind.
\n\nSecondly (and the reason for this post) I would like to ask for more diabetic related competitions. Dat science really can make a massive difference in the lives of real people with diabetes. For example: My father has MODY and I have similar symptoms but we are classified as type 2 diabetics. Often this crude classification scheme leads to getting improper medications. By using the data from my BG meter it was easy to recognize a normal distribution with high kurtosis in my glucose readings, as opposed to a right skewed distribution in the case of type 2 data. Knowing the pattern I was able to use small amounts of insulin applied during those peaks and lower the BG to normal levels. Simple statistics changed my health dramatically.
\n\nDiabetes datasets can change lives so please have more of them!

\n\nGenerally speaking the main thing holding us back from launching more health related competitions is a lack of data. Each competition requires more data than any one doctor could reasonably generate, and securing the necessary patient approvals also takes a great deal of work. I'm not sure how long these exams take to perform, but if it's even fifteen minutes then I'd estimate we're looking at the fruits of roughly two person-years of labor. We've been very fortunate to have the team at Aravind as partners to make this competition possible!
