Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Evaluate clinical trial protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria against synthetic deidentified longitudinal patient profiles. Estimate cohort enrollment yield and identify criterion bottlenecks across study sites.

Clinical Research Coordinator

Ingest trial eligibility parameters and a synthetic multi-site cohort dataset of deidentified patient metrics.

Evaluate age, diagnostic code history, and lab biomarker thresholds against each synthetic record.

Calculate stage-by-stage attrition curves and highlight restrictive exclusion criteria.

Synthesize a recruitment feasibility dossier with cohort yield projections for research review.

Interactive cohort explorer presenting criteria filter controls, waterfall attrition diagrams, and feasibility summaries.

Synthesize tabular cohort records with age, lab values, and synthetic ICD-10 codes, or load public mock FHIR bundles. Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

HL7 FHIR overview Adopt FHIR Clinical Reasoning and ResearchStudy criteria modeling conventions to structure eligibility evaluation predicates.

langgraph, pandas, pydantic. langgraph coordinates cyclical feasibility evaluation passes across eligibility criteria and aggregates attrition stages. Fast hosted or local model capable of summarizing criterion bottlenecks from structured attrition tables.

Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

Parses multi-criteria inclusion/exclusion rules into executable filtering logic.

Processes at least 1,000 synthetic patient records and computes step-wise attrition metrics.

Generates a structured feasibility report identifying the most restrictive criterion.

Provides human review checkpoints for adjusting protocol thresholds and re-running yield analysis.
