Our first annual Hacking Health Waterloo Hackathon is a weekend-long hackathon that breaks down barriers to healthcare innovation by bringing together IT and healthcare professionals to collaborate, dream up & design apps, devices and solutions for patient-centric care.

 

 

This year’s theme: Brain Health, Aging and Wellness

Our Hackathon Challenges:

  • Emergency Department Visits: Solutions that reduce or avoid unnecessary emergency department visits for older adults living with dementia.
  • Falls prevention: Solutions that prevent falls, or mitigate injury due to falls, in older adults with dementia.
  • Aging at Home: Solutions for better management of complex chronic conditions in older adults with dementia who are living at home.
  • Cognitive Fitness: Solutions that improve brain health or cognitive fitness in older adults.

We’ve set up our Sparkboard! This site will help us know who is coming to the event, what ideas teams are working on, and who needs help. Most important, it helps participants form teams that bridge the gap between medicine and technology. Please sign up your project here.
