This is an article (by Chowdhury, 2012) on Hacking Health experience held in Canada in 2012. The hackathon was focused on social innovation (with at least an education aim) more than technical innovation. The approach is aimed to improve healthcare to pair technological innovators with healthcare experts to build realistic, human-centric solutions to front-line healthcare problems. The hackathons may be focused directly on launching apps. From the onset, Hacking Health was designed to catalyse entrepreneurial teams and projects to address issues in healthcare through business models.
