health Meets Innovation

the nyc health ecosystem + the next gen of talent + weekend incubation

This Health Hackathon aims to foster innovative multidisciplinary team science using artificial intelligence and machine learning.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) provide an exceptional opportunity to accelerate and revolutionize human health. The Hackathon will nurture collaborations across different fields and includes wearable devices, smart phones, other sensor-related technology, genetics, images and electronic health records. It is open to all students and research scientists including bioinformatics, computer programming, bio-statistics, and other computer programming related disciplines. A key component of the Hackathon is team development which includes students and researchers at all levels of the research process. 

 

AI and machine learning approaches have a variety of applications throughout all stages of the translational science spectrum. They require interdisciplinary collaborations to support well-defined projects emphasizing development of machine intelligence-based systems, emerging tools, and modern technologies for diagnosing disease and health conditions.

Medication Adherence

From Modernizing Medicine

 Medications and therapies are constantly being enhanced to improve patient care. No matter how effective the drug, it does not have an impact if the patient is not taking it according to the healthcare provider's instructions. The World Health Organization defines adherence as “the extent to which a person's behavior - taking medication, following a diet, and/or executing lifestyle changes, corresponds with agreed recommendations from a health care provider.” This challenge focuses specifically on improving medication adherence- is the patient taking his/her medications according to the provider’s recommendations?  Medication adherence is a multi-faceted problem and problems can occur anywhere among the provider, pharmacy, health plan, and patient. This is a long-known problem with many solutions being proposed and implemented at various phases of the care cycle. FULL DETAILS HERE

Respiratory Protection

From J&J

Respirators have remained largely unchanged for almost 50 years, despite major shortcomings identified within the current design and increasing threats of air pollution and airborne epidemics. In an age of disruption spurred by technological advances, it’s time to take action - to attempt to prevent needless suffering and save lives by improving respiratory safety.


We’re calling on innovators to revolutionize respiratory protection, to submit novel ideas to better protect against the inhalation of harmful infectious agents. Is there a household item that could transform into a lifesaving face mask during an emergency? Could new textiles or wearable technologies be incorporated into face masks to improve performance? FULL DETAILS HERE

CHALLENGES

Details found here

Teams may work on any project of their choice, or may choose from one of the challenges proposed by our partners. Any project is eligible for prize money. $4,000 in cash awarded to winning teams. Must be present on Sunday to win. Bonus prize money for teams that tackle coronavirus.
