The Companion Animal Open Data Hackathon

We invite remote groups to work collaboratively on solutions that illustrate the impact of the pandemic on animal health related areas that can help the public, government and business to act in an informed and sustainable manner. In this first edition, the Hack will focus on addressing solutions for Companion Animals (aka pets!). Projects can take the form of written analysis or forecasts, data visualizations, live data dashboards, or any other creative solutions to develop innovative approaches to the current crisis.

The PetHack will provide you with the resources you need to explore your ideas, experiment and accelerate results. We will facilitate access to pet, animal health and coronavirus-related open data along with additional data made available by our vHive partners. Data will be made available in a powerful platform which will allow you to collaborate with others to define, develop and execute your innovative solutions and make a real difference in addressing the challenges facing the animal health sectors in times of the pandemic.
