HH Toronto Ideathon: Innovating the Patient Experience

October 8, 2018 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

HH Toronto Ideathon 2018

Hacking Health Toronto is proud to present its next event during Toronto Health Innovation Week at MaRS. Join us for this THIW kick-off Ideathon and help us reimagine the clinical experience for patients with chronic diseases. Bring your best budding ideas, brainstorm and pitch your solutions!

Schedule

  • 9:00-9:30AM Doors open: Breakfast & Networking
  • 9:30-9:45AM Keynote by Dr. Onil Bhattacharyya
  • 9:45-9:55AM Keynote by Lisa Machado, Patient Advocate
  • 10:00AM – 11:30AM Team Formation and Hacking Begins
  • 11:30AM – 12:30PM Pitching and Judging

Who should join?

This Ideathon is for techies, healthcare workers, business people, and most of all… patients with lived experience! We’re starting from square one, with creativity, technology, and patients as the building blocks for a new vision of the healthcare experience. We are looking for a winning solution that can:

  • Improve patient outcomes
  • Give a better user experience… patients are people too!
  • Provide a realistic solution that makes business sense

What are we creating?

Ideathons are design workshops with patients at the center. Understanding the problem patients face, defining it, and brainstorming a solution that your team can present in any creative way they choose is the mission (i.e. a few slides, short video, acting, wireframes… surprise us!)

Did you say Judging?

Yes! Whether it’s a Hackathon, Design Jam, or Ideathon, the best solutions win! At our THIW Ideathon the winning team will get a swag bag, and the opportunity to share their idea with the Hacking Health Canada network.
