CHIP PhD student, Natthawut 'Max' Adulyanukosol, was recently awarded the Titan Award for Community Collaboration by Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI). OHDSI is an interdisciplinary collaborative to highlight the value of health data through large-scale analytics. OHDSI has an international network of researchers and health databases centrally housed at Columbia University.
To recognize OHDSI collaborators (or collaborating institutions) for their contributions towards OHDSI’s mission, the OHDSI Titan Awards were introduced introduced at the 2018 Symposium. The Titan awards are the highest of OHDSI community's honors for collaborators who are making contributions in advancing open data standards, methods research, open-source development and clinical evidence generation.
The community collaboration award recognizes an individual for their collaborative spirit in helping their fellow community members reach their goals. Max has been working with Thai colleagues to promote OHDSI and the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) in Thailand through workshops and guidance. In addition, his team at Siriraj Hospital in Thailand has been developing the official OHDSI Thailand chapter, and working to involve additional Thai healthcare institutions with the OHDSI community. The goal is to contribute even more to the global OHDSI community in the years to come.
Congratulations to Max for this tremendous honor and collaborative community effort!
