Romania, the first CEE country to organize a large scale Healthcare Hackathon: a Johnson &Johnson project implemented in partnership with Smart Everything Everywhere

September 12, 2017

AmCham Romania is pleased to be a supporting partner of the "Hacking Health", he Healthcare Hackathon in Romania which thus becomes the first CEE country to organize a large scale hackathon, following an initiative and award received by Johnson & Johnson Romania from J&J Global Innovation Fund for Governmental Affairs & Policy.

 

The project will be implemented together with Smart Everything Everywhere (SEE) a cutting-edge organization that focuses on accelerating Romania’s transition into the digital age by leveraging the country’s untapped digital potential, and enabling it to grow, scale and become a global innovation hub.

This project aims at providing IT and software solutions to some of the challenges in the current local healthcare environment while aligning with the priorities in public health and healthcare. J&J Romania will create, through this project, the official framework needed to generate practical and innovative digital solutions that tackle current gap situations in the Romanian healthcare system by using technology and software.

During the two days’ event, the participants will brainstorm ideas, create prototypes and even put into practice best solutions with the only scope of identifying digital solutions that could contribute to the development of the health system and bring social-economic benefits for the Romanian citizens and society. The event will bring together up to 100 experts with energetic and brilliant minds, from all over Romania, aiming at changing the future of healthcare in Romania: IT engineers, programmers, healthcare researchers, graphic designers, software designers, developers, students, policy makers, academics, representatives of patients’ advocacy groups and professional associations.
