Organised by DoCSoc, BioEngSoc and MedTech, this hackathon is aimed at developing serious games in the public health sector taking advantage of biomedical technologies in collaboration with medical researchers and students. It is our first step in an effort to help nurture a community of students interested in game development and open-source software development with medical technology.
Imperial College is a leading university with world-class engineering and medicine faculties. Health Hack brings our community together to work on ideas which require interdisciplinary excellence. The mix of bioengineering, coding skills and domain-specific medical knowledge is why you should be excited about this event. You will also get to meet all the amazing researchers and developers who will be there to provide each team with genuine support and ideas because you will work on the causes they care about.
Our aim is to create a community of active young people who employ their acquired knowledge to tackle health issues and relieve thousands of people from their suffering. You – the participants, will shape this community the way you want it to be and we will always be there to facilitate your efforts and make the occasional hotfix when everything breaks. The three values which should stand out to you when reading this are inspire, share, deliver.
