Congrats Markian Hromiak, Aradhya Rajanala, & Katy Sadowski -- won a best community contribution award! 🎉

Showed how to shrink 220GB of synthetic medical data to 20GB w @duckdb.org, host on constrained machines, & use it via #rstats #julialang #python wrappers 🧪

#academicsky #publichealth #datasci
Markian & I worked with Katy Sadowski to create small OMOP CDM patient databases.

We discussed a #workflow to generate 1 million patient DB that went from ~220GB to ~20GB -- ~90% data reduction!

Goal was to provide researchers more realistic & performant @duckdb.org DBs for health informatics. 📊🩺

This is pretty incredible work by @cncastillo.bsky.social!

Really exciting to see #medical #imaging continue to grow within #julialang -- especially the GPU acceleration via KomaMRI.jl (link: github.com/JuliaHealth/...)

Plus, the @makie.org plots look fantastic!
