Blockchain Week 2019 Blockchain Hackathon

We've been running this hackathon series for 5 years. Previous sponsors have included, Lloyds Banking Group, Thomson Reuters, IBM, Bank of Papua New Guinea 5th Element Group and ABT Associates.  For the 5th Annual London Blockchain Week we are looking to leverage blockchain to solve some of the global challenges concerning the health of women and children around the world.    CAN YOU CREATE TECHNOLOGY THAT IMPROVES LIVES? Access to healthcare, record keeping and preventable diseases are all issues that could be improved with technology. With mobile and IoT devices becoming more commonplace, there are a number of ways to tack the challenge of global health concerns for women and children.    HACKATHON RULES THE CHALLENGE: BLOCKCHAIN FOR BETTER WOMEN & CHILDREN'S HEALTH Teams will earn extra points if they have at least 1 woman on the team. Teams are encouraged to research some of the health challenges for women and children around the globe in order to better understand how a tech solution can have an immediate impact. While the projects can be ambitious, extra point will be given for how "ready-to-market" the concepts are. You could think of a new insurance model, record keeping process or health monitoring services. Just remember that the projects need to have an impact on the wellbeing of women and children. HACKATHON OVERVIEWTeams will form at the kick off event on Friday, February 8th at Cocoon Networks in Moorgate. Each team should have at least one developer and 1 woman. Coding isn't the only skill you need to win, we encourage strategist, consultants and people with health/pharma experience to get involved.

On Sunday morning we regroup again at Cocoon and polish up the concepts, prototypes and begin preparing presentations.
