24 hours, 100 participants, real health care challenges.
This year’s Code Hack takes place March 6-8, 2020 at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, BC.
What is a hackathon?
Island Health’s hackathon is an opportunity for people who are passionate about improving health care to work together.
Over the course of a weekend, you have the chance to pitch what you see as the health care challenges in the region and contribute to what could potentially solve these issues.
Applicants do not have to work in health care and there is no cost to participate.
AT CODE HACK, EVERYONE IS WELCOME.
And we have one common goal: improving health care.
Central to the Code Hack weekend is the 24-hour sprint.
Once participants have formed small working groups (around 5/6 people) and chosen the projects they want to work on (you also pitch these project ideas), they then have 24 hours to create solutions. This may be an app, it may be a care pathway, it may be signage, a website, or something for a treatment room, anything goes, YOU get to decide!
Winners receive opportunities to further develop their prototypes with Island Health’s Innovation Lab and other community partners.
