Choose one of these four health tracks to focus your project on.
Health Care needs technology to help speed up the communication lines between caretakers, care teams and patients. Our industry struggles with maintaining privacy while increasing the speed of communication. Build an app or digital solution that solves the communication barriers while maintaining health insurance portability and accountability compliance.
Examples:?
Knowledge is power and information is critical. We want to help our patients help themselves. Build an app that leverages and showcases readily available information so that it can be easily interpreted and acted upon:
Examples:
Great health care is only useful if you can get it when you need it. There are Rural and Underserved Populations that find it challenging to access health care in a timely and relevant matter. Build an app or digital solution that helps connect doctors with patients in rural/ underserved communities:
Examples:
Globally, one person dies from suicide every 40 seconds, and in the U.S. it is estimated that there are over 1.4 million suicide attempts per year.?In the U.S., suicide is the second leading cause of death among those aged 15-24.?In Maine, 27% of youth report feeling sad or hopeless, and this percentage has been rising nearly one point per year over the past decade.?More effective outreach to adults and youth is needed to combat feelings of depression and hopelessness that, if unaddressed, can lead to thoughts of suicide.?Create an app or social media-based platform that educates users and provides tools for suicide prevention.
Examples:

All code developed as part of North Atlantic Health Hackathon must be fresh. Before the start of North Atlantic Health Hackathon, developers can create wireframes, designs and user flows.
