An incredible match. The story of “I Seek Delirium”.

Tania (nurse at the Montreal Heart Institute) and Nicolas (entrepreneur, founder of NeuroServo) did not know each other. They I Seek Delirium - Le projet gagnant du Coopérathon 2018met during the pitch & networking meetup where teams are built around each project. As Nicolas says in the video below: “it clicked immediately and we decided to work together”.The potential of their collaboration was obvious.

Winner of the health track in Canada, “I seek delirium” has been integrated within NeuroServo and continues its development with the Montreal Heart Institute. The company and the diagnostic tool presented at Cooperathon 2018 have been the subject of an article in Fierce Biotech, a reference in the health industry.

HH Milano 2016 Hackathon

 

A design thinking driven hackathon
Milano 2016 Edition

 

Hacking Health Facilitator and HHDutch leader Robin Hoojier flew down to assist Milano in their process: here’s what he thought of it:


About the process

For its second hackathon, Milano identified needs within healthcare institutions and expanded its ecosystem. First, the chapter set up a collaboration with leading  university Milano-Bicocca and then built partnerships with 10 regional hospitals. Finally, for this hackathon, the chapter involved 100+ students in a patient-centered innovation journey, which will culminate with their Fall hackathon.

First, we gave a basic service design training (patient journey, stakeholder maps, storyboards, etc) to a group of 10 research students from the University of Milano-Bicocca’s Psychology Department. The group then started the observation phase together with two supervisors; this consisted mainly in using ethnography and interviews within 10 hospitals. Because we’ve partnered with 10 hospitals it made it easier to identify concrete staff and patient needs.[/col][/row]

 


We then organized a four-days workshop with University of Milano-Bicocca intitled “Co-design and innovation in healthcare” involving 130 students (divided into groups) coming from different specializations.
They were divided into 12 multi-disciplinary working groups, namely: Psychology, Sociology, Economics and Law, Biology, Medical Science, Nursing, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics and Informatics.
During this workshop, students were involved in clustering and co-design activities. This allowed them to develop user journeys and personas aimed at defining clusters and challenges for the Hackathon.

 

[
Afterwards in September we ran Thematic Tables, a day long workshop at University of Milano-Bicocca to co-design the challenges that we want to bring to the hackathon. It involved not only our student participants but also over 150 participants including developers and designers, researchers, health professionals, entrepreneurs,  companies and thought leaders from the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.

design-thinking

Our Hacking Health Halifax launch café took place in April, drawing at least 150 healthcare professionals, IT specialists, developers, programmers, entrepreneurs, and patients to the IWK Health Centre’s Goldbloom Pavilion! Together, we welcomed Luc Sirois, founder of Hacking Health, alongside an expert panel. We thank all of you for this success!

This time, we’re ready to take a hands-on approach at the June Café & Workshop. During a facilitated session, we’ll challenge you to identify key healthcare challenges in multi-disciplinary groups. Together, we’ll learn a repeatable, design thinking process that can be used leading up to and during the hackathon weekend. As always, this session is admission-free. Of course, we’ll save time at the start and finish of the design thinking session to mix, mingle and meet new people!
