HACKATHON

The inaugural Hacking Health Athens Hackathon will be held in downtown Athens on February 8, 9 &  10, 2019 and is organised by eHealth Forum and Biomimicry Greece Research & Innovation.

Co-organisers: Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry, GFOSS – Open Technologies Alliance, and Athens Startup Business Incubator (ThEA).

Supporters: HL7 Foundation Europe & Trillium II, Health Level 7 International, HL7 Hellas, Hellenic Society of eHealth Services & Education, European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI), FORTH-ICS, CERTH & Information Technologies Institute, Biomedical Engineering Laboratory – NTUA, Computer Science Department-University of Crete, Hellenic Health Informatics Association (ESPY) and CEN-Health Informatics.

Under the auspices of the Department of Hygiene, Epidemiology & Medical Statistics, Medical School, University of Athens.

Hackathon starting point is the electronic Health record and International Patient Summary (IPS).

Hackathon participants will be looking for innovative solutions for fostering HEALTH DATA AND MOBILITY.

We invite healthcare professionals, scientists, patients, entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, developers, and others interested to team up for a long weekend and propel innovation in healthcare.

OUR CHALLENGE: HEALTH DATA AND MOBILITY

Subject: the electronic Health Record and International Patient Summary (IPS).

A Patient Summary is a standardized set of basic medical data that includes the most important clinical facts required to ensure safe and secure healthcare. This summarized version of the patient’s medical data gives health professionals the essential information they need to provide care in the case of an unexpected or unscheduled medical situation (e.g. emergency or accident). Though this data is mainly intended to aid health professionals in providing unscheduled care, it can also be used to provide planned medical care (e.g. in the case of citizen movements or cross-organizational care paths).

HEALTH DATA AND MOBILITY

We will use Trillium-II, that builds on the strength of the EU/US MoU on collaboration in eHealth/ Health Information Technology to realize its key recommendation that we share, i.e. “Advance an International Patient Summary standard to enable people to access and share their health information for emergency or unplanned care anywhere and as needed starting with immunizations, allergies, medications, clinical problems, past operations and implants”. For more information: https://trillium2.eu/

Some ideas on the Hackathon challenge:

  1. Illustration (user experience) of the information on the IPS for different users (medical doctors, nurses, patients, institutions…)
  2. Expansion of IPS and enhanced utilization for different use scenarios (chronic diseases e.g. diabetes, oncology patients, rheumatoid arthritis patients, pain management, opioid use …)
  3. Decision support system for health professionals (e.g. contra-indications on co-administration of drugs)
  4. Develop apps with inside IPS for people with specific health profiles: Frailty, Diabetes, Hypertension
  5. Develop apps with IPS inside for specific age groups: elderly, health conscious, children, expecting mothers, etc.
  6. …other, give us your input!

ADDRESSED TO

Anyone interested in IPS, from universities and communities to end users (health professionals & patients).

INTERNATIONAL PATIENT SUMMARY

Definition: An International Patient Summary (IPS) is an electronic health record extract containing essential healthcare information intended for use in the unscheduled, cross-border care scenario, comprising at least the required elements of the IPS dataset. The IPS dataset is a minimal and non-exhaustive patient summary dataset, specialty-agnostic, condition-independent, but readily usable by clinicians for the cross-border unscheduled care of a patient.

SPARKBOARD

To get the wheels in motion for the development of your pitch and/or to find potential team members, join us on the Hacking Health Athens Hackathon 2019 Sparkboard with as much information as possible about your innovation. This includes general project information, pictures, your call to arms, as well as discussion points.

In the meantime, keep up to date with our activities, meet potential teammates and brainstorm in advance on the Hacking Health Athens Hackathon 2019 Sparkboard. We can’t wait to hear your ideas!
