HACKING HEALTH HACKATHON IN CONJUNCTION WITH TRUE NORTH

JOIN US TO TRANSFORM HEALTHCAREHacking Health aims to bring innovation to healthcare using a collaborative bottom-up approach with healthcare professionals at the centre of the innovation process.

In conjunction with True North, this year’s dual-city hackathon leverages the robust technology sector in both Ottawa and Waterloo. Taking place simultaneously in both cities, Hacking Health Hackathon is a fun, hands-on, 3-day event that breaks down barriers to healthcare innovation. We pair healthcare professionals with technologists, designers, and entrepreneurs to solve distinct front-line problems with creative solutions.

At the hackathon, teams pitch ideas, get advice from experts and build digital health applications that can be integrated and implemented into our healthcare system. This year’s themes include Social Isolation, Aging and Technology. Working together, we can build inventive solutions to resolve some of our healthcare challenges.

Our shared values and vision for a patient-centric healthcare system, allows us to be great innovation partners to lead healthcare forward.
