I want just to give you a brief personal impression about 1 ½ days of my last week as a Developer Advocate at IBM.
Being one the of coaches at the largest Healthcare Hackathon in Europe was incredible.
The Hack was supported by the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH), Merck , the Kieler Nachrichten and IBM .
Around 150 hackers worked for two days in 25 international teams including students, companies and startups. More numbers you can find on the official webpage Healthcare Hackathon in Europe .
For me:
We as humans, health is our most important asset, at the Healthcare Hackathon it was brought to the foreground again with the help of technology and new ideas.
Here I want just to highlight some ideas, I was personally impressed.
I put my free interpretation for each of these challenges under each bullet point of the challenges.
