MIT & Cornell Health focused Hackathon hosted by WebMD, at their office on the 7th floor of the Google building in NYC
April 4 Networking from 7-10pm
April 5 from 8am-9pm Hackathon
April 6 from 8am-5pm hackathon concludes, winners announced
Food, prize$, swag, networking for the weekend.
Open to ALL students and even recent alumni. Cornell, Cornell Tech, Weil Cornell, freshmen – PhD.
Propose your own health related project to hack away on, work on a project from a class, or join a team to work on theirs. Teams can form onsite at event, or entire teams can apply to be in the hackathon together.
Don’t limit yourself to ‘coding’ problems, think of quantified self (wearable tech health care devices), clinical pain points, issues in health administration…….as long as the problem you solve is health related it counts.
Last year’s winning team came up with a ‘better designed, better functioning’ “fitbit/jawbone/fuel” concept via a wearable ring.
