Those interested in participating should apply at http://www.cbitcorehack.org by March 8.
Titled the 2015 CBIT-CORE Hackathon: Improving the Patient Experience and Reducing Readmissions, the event is an initiative of the Yale Center for Biomedical and Interventional Technology and the Yale Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation.
The participants will represent a range of fields —including medicine, public health, engineering, computer science, statistics, bioinformatics, business, and design.
Speakers and participants will outline healthcare "pain points," form interdisciplinary teams, and work together throughout the weekend to build prototypes, apps, services, and platforms that could have significant implications for both clinicians and patients. Industry leading mentors will join and support teams towards the ultimate goal of sustainable and successful ventures.
