Hackathon of Digital Health
The Hackathon of Digital Health was an initiative that sought to promote participation to create innovative solutions in the field of public health. The one-day event, organized by the Catholic University of Peru, brought together participants and coaches from five different cities in the country to come up with digital innovations to improve health conditions in Peru, making a special emphasis on cardiovascular diseases. The winner team developed an app that allows users to receive notifications regarding their personal heart conditions in order to increase prevention and lower risks of cardiac arrests.
