Code Hack is an initiative of Island Health’s Innovation Lab. Since the event first launched in 2019, it has helped translate creativity, innovation and energy into real-world solutions. Code Hack brings together patients, Island Health staff, physician partners, industry experts, coders, builders, designers and students who put on their thinking caps and compete against the clock – and each other – to find innovative ways to solve health-care challenges.
Island Health is looking for 100 people to participate in a “hackathon” and generate fresh ideas and approaches. Once participants have formed small working groups and made their pitches, they have 24 hours to create and design innovative solutions. This may result in an app, a care pathway, signage, a website or a resource for a treatment room. Anything goes – the participants get to decide!
If you aren’t tech savvy, don’t worry – Code Hack is designed for people of all abilities who share a common goal of improving health care. Applicants don’t have to work in health care and there is no cost to participate. More information and applications are available at www.codehack.ca .
