#ThinkOpenHealth is the very first hackathon event organized by Department of Health (DOH), The Philippine Council for Health Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCHRD), in partnership with SMART Communications, Inc. to bring together developers from around the Philippines to inspire innovations that will help improve the local Health sector through ICT solutions. This hackathon is driven by the Philippine Government’s mission on Inclusive Health by strengthening its eHealth strategy through SMART’s campaign on Technology for Development or Tech4D, particularly on improving the country’s healthcare delivery and services to the public.
The event charges no admission fee, but online REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Speakers from DOH, DOST- PCHRD, and SMART will be presenting the current local health landscape of the country as well as some Global health perspective and best practices and how technology can play a vital role in this digital age. Developers will have the opportunity to learn new programming techniques, network with other developers and software representatives, win prizes and, most importantly, make a difference in the world!
