This weekend staff and students from the MSc in Computational Journalism took part in the Cardiff NHS Hackday 2015. Our liveblog of the event is here, and you can see our final product online, with all the code available in our GitHub repository.
We’ve created the foundation for a project (Health Explorer Wales) that can visualise all sorts of health related data across the local authorities and local health boards of Wales. We’ll look to improve this over the coming weeks, with the hope that it can find a community willing to adopt it and drive it forwards in the future.
I’ve written a fuller debrief of the event on my personal blog here, and photos from the event are included below. All pictures are released under a Creative Commons BY-NC 2.0 licence by Paul Clarke
