Building Ecosystems of Innovation

From Events to Transformation in Healthcare

Events are a way to connect, engage, educate, inspire, but the ultimate goal is to transform healthcare. Hacking Health leaders and communities tackle this endeavor one step at a time, relentlessly growing in impact and maturity towards that final vision. Ultimately, Hacking Health leaders act as brokers of innovation in their communities.

Step 1

BUILD COMMUNITY

Connect stakeholders: healthcare professionals, patients, developers, engineers, designers, clusters, entrepreneurs, investors.

Step 2

SHARE KNOWLEDGE

Allow these communities to meet in person and exchange by hosting year round events. We help actors teach others about technology, healthcare and creativity through Cafés, conferences and workshops

Step 3

ENABLE COLLABORATIVE ACTION

Partner with other organizations to enable collaborative action which act as catalyzers: design days, ideathons, hackathons, design challenges, cooperathons.

Step 4

ACCELERATE IMPACT

Facilitate collaborative action and project implementation – this is made possible through the strong connections now established between participants and partnering institutions & companies. This is also where accelerators and incubators help or create some startups.

Step 5

TRANSFORM INSTITUTIONS AND REGIONS

Help organizations transform themselves so they generate ideas, design solutions, implement projects, continuously innovate. Make them work hand-in-hand with their patients and communities. Create inspiring examples for other communities to emulate.
