Health 2.0 is proud to announce The 2010 Health 2.0 Developer Challenge, with support from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Community Health Data Initiative (CHDI).
With newly opened government data sets and lightweight frameworks for rapid application development, we have a unique opportunity to participate in an ecosystem of data “suppliers” and “appliers” to build innovative tools to improve personal and population health.
Who can participate?
Government agencies, community organizations, foundations, healthcare and technology companies, software developers, UI designers, subject matter experts – all backgrounds welcome!
Organizations working on related efforts will be able to join the Challenge Consortium to share resources and success stories. For example, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) will be convening a community roundtable around their datasets, API, services, and user experience that will be incorporated into the Health 2.0 Developer Challenge.
How it works
Through a series of formal and informal “code-a-thons”, multi-disciplinary teams will work on specific solutions within priority areas identified in advance. The teams will compete in a stimulating environment to build real applications. And yes, there’ll be prizes (and food to keep you going)! A calendar of events will be available soon.
When and Where?
Health 2.0 will host a series of events leading up to the final Challenge during the Health 2.0 Annual Conference October 6-9, 2010, the culminating event of Health Innovation Week, October 3-10, in San Francisco CA.
How to get involved!
Stay tuned for an announcement of the Challenge Guidelines and a formal Call for Participation – but in the meantime we want to hear from you. To find out how to sponsor a challenge or join a development team, contact Health 2.0
