CSE Research Scientist to take on MyHeartMap Challenge

CSE Research Scientist, Manuel Cebrian, and an international team of crowdsourcing experts, have taken on a public competition in an effort to create an effective location-based database of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the Philadelphia area.  This information could prove to be lifesaving, plus the team members will be able to use the challenge to test their theoretical research on mobilizing social networks and verification of information.  The MyHeartMap Challenge began on January 31 and continues through March 13, 2012.
