CodeLife - EMIS Health Hackathon 2018

EMIS Health build software solutions to support patients, like you and me, live longer healthier lives.  

Tech in healthcare is huge at the moment, there are so many new and interesting apps and tools that can support the vision of providing better patient experience when travelling their healthcare journey.  

On the 23rd of June at 08:00AM we're kick starting “CodeLife” - our very own Hackathon, inviting people from across the North to join us for 14 hours of pure tech talk and on the spot innovation! 

You will be in teams of 4 or 5 (bring your own team or we can team you up) and the day will run from 08:00 - 22:00 and will include Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for those taking part. It’s a points means prizes day with the topic of choice being "social media vs healthcare" - focusing on current and upcoming technologies. Use your knowledge of social media to prototype an app or tool that could benefit patients in healthcare.
