Ideathon HealthTech
The Healtech Ideathon, organized by the companies Kozaca and Ánfora Comunicación, was based in Rosario, although it was a digital event. The purpose of the event was having participants formulate ideas to improve health in Argentina, developing digital applications that respond to three challenges: determining the impact of coronavirus on the health of patients in the short and medium term; generating an app that allows the elderly to socialize and monitor their health condition; and creating an app to monitor children's nutrition. Although the ideathon was open, workers and entrepreneurs in the health sector, and citizens with knowledge in engineering, communication, design and programming were encouraged to participate.
