HealthHack is a product-building event.

Teams work on problems that have been submitted by Problem Owners – typically medical
researchers, medical organisations, hospitals or government— but they could come from anyone who has a health-related problem they want to solve.

Find more at the HealthHack website.

Everything made at HealthHack is open source and made available for anyone else to use. You can find every project from every HealthHack at our GitHub.

Normally the event is run in person but due to COVID-19 it is running entirely remote this year. The exact plans for this year will be confirmed, but here are the basic so far:

• Run out of (sponsor) IBM’s Cloudtheater virtual event space
• Run across two weekends (but not during the week in between)
• Organisers will still be assisting problem owners and teams to form so there’s no need to have formed a team prior to HealthHack
• Same basic format as previous HealthHacks will be kept, but there will be tweaks to allow for the changed circumstances
• Organisers will still be available to help teams work together just like every other HealthHack to date

Now more than ever it’s important to support the work of healthcare professionals both in front line services and in medical research and the event is committed to supporting problem owners and hackers solve important problems.
