cultivateHEALTH HACKATHON

Co-design, create, innovate and metamorphasize the healthcare process; come disrupt with us!! The LHCF, Center for Healthy Communities, is excited to kick-off its official healthcare hackathon, cultivateHEALTH. It's a collaboration of social and technical innovators, scheduled for Oct. 17th and 18th at IBM. The blueprint for healthcare is overdue for a re-design, join us to revolutionize it.

Our goal is to enhance the user experience, improve population health, and reduce healthcare costs.  Join us to solve issues individuals battle each day in the healthcare space. We need everyday super heroes, including social advocates, healthcare experts, passionate innovators/designers, and technical masterminds to join our cause. We have partnered with multiple organizations that are revolutionizing and pushing for change, including IBM, City of Austin, University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School, Sendero Health Plans, Clinical Pathology Laboratories, BlueHub Health, Community representatives and the St. David's Foundation.

Personal stories for the hackathon revolve around various obstacles taken from families and individuals within our community. THESE stories are the food that will feed your creativity and overall passion to fundamentally transform healthcare issues. Each project will be available on our site to help each innovator decide what issue they'd like to advocate for and develop solutions to address specific needs and pain points.

A group of local superheroes, including community healthcare workers and health care experts, will be available to provide their expertise and overall experience in the subject matter.

Register now to receive updates and giveaways for attendees and project winners! We will provide food/beverages and swag bags filled with MANY FREE items from local vendors and businesses!

  Forming teams through shared goals, individuals and teams will have 3 minutes to pitch their idea to either form a team or add to their team.
  Shape the proto-team: proto members talk about potential soltions (quasi-brainstorm) - chip in to help shape the solution and identify the skills needed to get the job done.

Make sure to visit the League of HealthCare Heroes area, say hello to our sponsors, partners and all the healthcare resources.

Mingle amongst our Health League of Superheroes, this is where the magic happens. We hope our invited guest experts boost your confidence by providing inspiration, advocacy and positive feedback to you, the problem pitchers.

• 9:15 am - Get hacking: Set a plan of attack
  - Develop quick sketches of the pieces of the final solution
  - Ask a mentor or expert to share their feedback and help scope the work. Assign parts, divide and conquer
  - Start building a part of your idea that expresses a unqie value: "What would you do tomorrow if you won...

• 10:00am - IBM Bluemix workshop  

• 
  
• 12pm Lunch Speaker: Dr Joshua Rosenthal - Value Creation in Health
  Josh walks the audience/participants through the evolution of an idea to a value proposition giving specific context to why healthcare is so hard and different, but also to why digital health tools can become an incredible way to change how we all experience health.
  
  Activity: Mad-lib Your Way to a Health Offer
  
  Josh and hackathon facilitators walks proto-teams through the Mad-lib excercise. Proto-teams are asked to reconsider the skills they will need to realize their offer.
  
  Final Team Formation: Selecting for Action
  
  Each Porto-Team shares out their Mad-libs (2-3 mins) to the whole congregation. Audience is asked to keep track of teams they would want to work for (if not their current) and Proto-Teams are asked to consider new skills they’ll need to get something quickly made to turn the corner and make their idea real. Participants are asked to commit to a team that aligns with their interest and skillset. Part of this happens organically and the rest is facilitated by the organizers and invited experts.

• 1:00pm - Internet of hings with Javelin Devices Inc.

Javelin 1, is a versatile sensor platform that can be used for a variety of applications

Click here to sign up to use the IoT platform provided by Javaelin Devices Inc

Features:
1. Durable - nearly indestructible. Run it over, through it, crush it! 
2. Tiny - Just a little bigger than a flash drive.
3. Micro USB rechargeable. 
4. Waterproof - currently we have tested it at 10 meters and still no failure. 
5. Blue tooth low energy (BLE) wireless communication. 

User Interaction:
LED - send simple notifications using this feature. Pulsate the LED, change the intensity. vibration motor - for a more discrete form of feedback use the vibrator.

Sensors:
Temperature - On the surface of the device. Useful for environment and skin temperature. 
Microphone - Measure sound pressure levels, and even stream audio for voice commands.
Accelerometer - Measure acceleration in all 3 axis. (Motion Tracking, Gesture Recognition, ++)
Gyrometer - Measure rotation in all 3 axis (Motion Tracking, Gesture Recognition, ++)
Magnetometer - Measure magnetism in all 3 axis. Use it as a compass! (Motion Tracking, Gesture Recognition, ++)
Javelin Devices Inc., will have 11 prototype units that they will have at the Hackathon. They will be available for checkout for those that are interested. If you are interested please email: info@chctx.org
