HHYEG 2016 Hackathon

HHYEG 2016 has adopted the AGE-WELL theme for the hackathon as it perfectly aligns with the objective of Hacking Health: to bring innovation to healthcare and health technology.

AGE-WELL NCE is a national research network in technology and aging whose aim is  to help older Canadians to maintain their independence, health and quality of life through accessible  technologies that increase their safety and security, support their independent living, and enhance their social participation. 

This 3-day event brings healthcare professionals, researchers, and consumers together with programmers and developers to share ideas, collaborate and come up with innovative solutions to ongoing and challenging issues related to aging, health and wellness.
