DayOne Health Hack 2022

With the launch of a patient-centric health hackathon, DayOne, an initiative managed by Basel Area Business & Innovation, aims to explore new ways to catalyze sustainable and cutting-edge health solutions. The DayOne Health Hack has the clear ambition to become the place to be for digital talents and creative doers who wish to make a difference in improving health outcomes for patients. Supported by the broad Swiss healthcare innovation ecosystem, this unique format will contribute to establishing an additional avenue to catalyze healthcare innovation, attracting world-class software engineers and developers to the field and delivering on the promise of a truly patient-centric approach.

During two weeks, people with different abilities and skills will work together with patient champions and hack solutions to real patient needs.  Each participant can define the amount of time available and the skills they can bring into a team.  

No matter if you are a patient, carer, clinician, researcher, developer, data scientist, UX/UI designer, marketing, insurance or payer expert. You are welcome to join the DayOne Health Hack.  

The Health Hack journey

The hackathon will start with a kick off on Wednesday May 4th . During this kick-off, you will be introduced to the patient challenges, the platform and will be helped to join a team.  

From May 9 – 19th, the teams will collaborate and work together to create their solutions. No matter if you can dedicate 2h or 20h, you are welcome to join a team and contribute in the co-creation process. During this phase, there will be exciting webinars, expert sessions and networking in the platform, where you can continue learning and exchanging knowledge with your peers.  

On May 20th, the finalist teams will present their solutions on a demo event. Everyone is welcome to join and vote for your favorite solution as the winner of the Health Hack!
