List of hackathons in Rohnert Park, United States in 2015

The Hack2Health - Innovations in Diabetes Hackathon is a workshop venue for participants to form teams and develop their concepts.  It is the first phase of the overall Innovations in Diabetes Design Challenge and a mandatory step if teams are to move forward in the competition. Teams are challenged to design an innovative digital health solution promoting sustained patient engagement and behavioral change in the prevention or management of type 2 diabetes     After registering here, participants will be invited to join an online communication forum to open lines of dialogue with other participants and perhaps even form preliminary teams.  Participants are also strongly encouraged to consider a design thinking perspective and interview both potential end users and industry experts prior to attending the Hackathon (whether those users be providers, diabetes patients, or otherwise).   No coding is required at the Hackathon and prototyping tools will be provided. This is simply an ideation phase for participants to form teams, meet stakeholders, and develop a concept in a collaborative environment.  The Hackathon will be a fun opportunity for participants to hear from stakeholders, end users, and industry experts. Plus, you can win $1000 in prize money!
