    What is a hackathon?

    A hackathon, as a concept, is simple. Starting on Friday, we come together to find groups to work in. Until Sunday evening we build prototypes, concepts and projects which we believe in.
     
    Taking part in the event, you are coached and helped by experts, you have access to resources and people whom you would never meet "outside". It is a weekend of free thinking with focus on current issues and projects of passion. But, you need to deliver! This we believe, is how change happens. Not just talk, but action.
     
    What can we achieve?
    In Vienna on our first event, 66 health hackers came up with 17 ideas. Out of this 8 ideas survived and groups were formed which worked on them in collaborative and interdisciplinary fashion. Out of those 8 projects only one didn’t make it to it’s finalization. The remaining diverse set of 7 projects were then presented and applauded by our participants. Among those 7 projects were:
    • mySugr Buddy - Improving diabetes therapy with the help of artificial intelligence and surveys in a game like manner.
    • Speech Therapy Games - To support children in their speech correction, this team developed a game that helps them with the pronunciation of words, syllables and the creation of noises.
    • Sigmund Frog - Children’s waiting rooms are boring and could be way more exciting! With the help of an XBOX and Kinect, children are educated in a game like manner how to brush their teeth. Currently being developed together with Tieto Enator and MS!
