The Cooperathon is the largest innovation competition in the world! It is a movement that brings together members of the community and organizations who value cooperation, innovation and entrepreneurship in order to have a positive impact on society. During a four-week period, these groups will work together on solutions to real problems that exist in today’s society.

Cooperathon 2018 focusses on four major tracks: Finance, Health, Education and Energy / Environment. Each track is part of the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations.

This year once again, Hacking Health is partnering with the Cooperathon as leader of the Health track.

160 participants, 26 projects, and a massive dose of youth and energy for the national eHealth conference. // Inspiring kick-off + 8-week duration + bi-weekly work sessions + final 3-day sprint = Spectacular demos and projects

Launched at the Center for Digital Media in Vancouver in 2016, and at the OTN day in Toronto in 2015, the Design Challenge culminated in the national eHealth conference. The competing teams showcased impressive projects and injected a massive dose of youth, energy and innovation in the conference program. The 8 week format allowed them to develop momentum and partnerships hardly possible in a traditional hackathon. Some, like iUGO Health, even went on to become highly successful digital health startups.

Hacking Health is doing great things across the country. We thought: Let’s join forces and go further together!

INNOVATE HEALTHCARE NATIONWIDE

Collaboration and design thinking

In May 2015 Hacking Health Milano hosted Italy’s first-ever health hackathon. Since then, it has ramped up to mobilize the whole nation using design thinking to re-invent health services.

HH Milano established a national network of engaged hospitals

18 months later, for their second annual event, Hacking Health Milano succeeded in engaging not one, but an amazing 11 hospitals and national healthcare systems in their process. This year HH Milano decided to focus on design thinking and engage participants in a much longer challenge.

By setting up a 9-month long collaboration with leading university Milano-Bicocca, HH Milano allowed over 100 students from diverse backgrounds to gain insights into patient journeys and staff challenges.

It’s part of my job to scout for new ideas and assess their value. We’re part of a network of 29 hospitals which share innovative ideas…

Dutch Hacking Health

TAKING ACTION AROUND THE WORLD

Dutch Hacking Health

TAKING THE WHOLE NATION BY STORM

One nation united to innovate healthcare.

Dutch Hacking Health
“Every person in the Netherlands needs healthcare somewhere in their life. You can change the way we deliver this care during Dutch Hacking Health. This is a nationwide event where people of different backgrounds come together to create new solutions for healthcare. Join Dutch Hacking Health!” Edith Schippers, Dutch Minister of Health, Welfare & Sport // Erik Gerritsen, Secretary-General of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, with national winning team.

In 2015, the REshape Center for Innovation of Radbound University Medical Center was contemplating a hackathon to shake up their institution. Instead of going it alone in their local community, they chose to join forces with Hacking Health and play a leading role on a global scale. In 2016, with a bold vision to mobilize their whole nation around healthcare innovation, four Dutch University Medical Centers, – Leiden UMC, Maastricht UMC, UMC Groningen and Radboud UMC -, took their country by storm and created Dutch Hacking Health. For the first time ever, a ‘health hackathon’ was held in a nation-wide setting in multiple cities.

Not only is Dutch Hacking Health an enlightening example of collaboration and leadership on a broad national level, it fueled a nation’s efforts to improve healthcare.

The University Medical Centers made the Hacking Health events an official part of their innovation agenda. The chief judge on a national level was the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Health, Erik Gerritsen himself. The Dutch Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport, Edith Schippers, called on all citizens to participate and take the opportunity to change the way care is delivered in the Netherlands.

Dutch HH is an initiative of four University Medical Centers: LUMC in Leiden, Maastricht UMC, UMC Groningen and Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre. It is a real “creative pressure cooker for health!”

Affordable, good quality care is the most important thing for future generations. Innovation is key. I’m Erik Gerritsen and I’m Hacking Health. Are you?

Secretary-General
