What: Health and Wellness Innovation 2013 is a two week hackathon that brings together students, health professionals, and innovators from industry to build technology that empowers patients to take control of their health.
Why: Healthcare is in crisis; every year we spend more and get less. At the core of this crisis is a lack of patient engagement. Patients are motivated to be involved, but they are consistently undervalued and marginalized. Current efforts in consumer health are fragmented and fail to leverage a common infrastructure to promote each other’s success through positive feedback. They spend most of their time solving the same problems over and over again. As a result, their ability to empower patients is limited.
This annual event forges partnerships and springboards projects to success by encouraging participants to share core technologies and by providing mentorship to push the limits of innovation in every project. It brings together key clinical, research, and industry players so that we can solve real problems and achieve real change in healthcare.
It is an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the field. They work with professionals and gain experience that can lead to research funding, grad school positions, or job opportunities.
Where: MIT Media Lab - We will occupy the 6th floor for the entire event
When: January 22 - February 1, 2013
Sponsor(s): Media Arts and Sciences
