Not all of us are technologically-savvy, but with the success of Dr. Robert Baird’s “My First Surgery” app [1], the thought of creating an application to solve a healthcare problem doesn’t seem so daunting after all - especially if you get help from groups like Hacking Health.

Hacking Health brings together IT experts and healthcare professionals in an attempt to improve healthcare by designing and producing simple and effective apps. You bring the idea, and they make it happen!

From February 21 to 23, Hacking Health will be holding a Hackathon at HEC Montréal and Sainte-Justine.

This year’s theme is: Improving the Health of Mothers and Children. For more information, go to www.hackinghealth.ca [2].
