Plus Eight Health Hack
Event Information
Description
How does it work:
We’re bringing together entrepreneurs, startups, government, researchers and anyone else passionate about healthcare innovation for a weekend. Working together over 54 hours at Fiona Stanley Hospital's education facilities pouring in a heap of caffeine and free food, to see what new ideas come out the other end.
We’ll hack together medical professionals, creatives, technologists, designers and developers in teams to experiment with rapid prototyping and validation focused on West Australian digital health innovation.
Over the weekend we’ll deliver exciting content on design methods and technology capable of scaling health care from subject matter

Can we use technology to precisely track workflow while decreasing the need for multiple records?
-
How do we be proactive rather than reactive in regard to health and healthcare?

Can we reduce rework and redocumentation through technology?

Can wearable technologies (ie fitness trackers) be used to promote better health outcomes?
-
Can we provide sufficient notice where possible using technology to intuitively forecast requirements and constraints?

How do we visualise patient flow through a hospital?
