Exploring Innovation in Cancer Care.
On October 17th, Accelerate Okanagan will be hosting the inaugural Hacking Health event. This one-day hackathon will be facilitated by Rocky Ozaki and his team at NoW of Work Inc.
We are looking for innovative, out-of-the-box thinkers who are motivated to build the future of health by improving the cancer care experience. Participants will be introduced to a problem statement and from there will form groups and get hacking.
The hacking process looks something like this:
Generate Idea > Rapid Prototyping > Pitch > Reflect > Repeat
This day-long, bootcamp style experience will teach the basics of human-centered design. There will be a panel of judges who review the ideas generated throughout the day and will be left with the impossible task of picking a winner.
Hacking Health is Invite Only. If you are interested in participating, connect with Project Coordinator, Sara Scott.
Hacking Health is part of a larger event series called The Future of Health, a forum focused on cancer care we're hosting in partnership with BC Cancer, Interior Health, and UBC Okanagan.
