This is the official start of the National eHealth Conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. At this Sunday night reception, teams are asked to give 5 minute pitches to their progress to date and network with conference attendees

Monday June 1st,

Mentors and digital health experts will visit teams first thing in the morning, offer feedback, and suggest ways to improve their prototypes. Teams will then spend the next 24 hours modifying, improving, testing, validating and tuning their prototypes in preparation for the demo competition.

All hacking stops at 12pm. After lunch, the demo competition begins. Teams will be evaluated by an expert panel of judges. The awards presentation and winners will be announced after judges deliberate, expected between 4-5pm.


Hacking Health is partnering with the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN), Canada’s Health Informatics Association, Canada Health Infoway, and the Canadian Institute for Health Information to deliver this 8 week design challenge culminating in a demo showcase and prizes to be awarded at the National e-Health Conference May 31-June 2nd, 2015.

The event will begin with a kick-off at the MaRS Centre March 30th, 11 am. Dr. Ed Brown, CEO of OTN, will announce challenges and priorities for participants to work on. Participants will then begin co-developing solutions with a design jam to be facilitated by Usability Matters. OTN will also announce exciting prize packages totalling $10,000 cash plus in-kind support.

Teams will then go virtual for 8 weeks. We will be hosting 4 meetups every two weeks with exciting keynotes to keep teams engaged and motivated.

Finally, teams will convene at the National e-Health Conference hosted by Canada’s Health Informatics Association, Canada Health Infoway, and the Canadian Institute for Health Information. Starting with an evening reception on May 31st, and followed by 48 hours of final tweaking, validation, and testing, the teams will then partake in a demo competition in which they are judged and scrutinized, with winners announced shortly after.
