TY - JOUR T1 - Hacking Health: Bottom-up Innovation for Healthcare JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2012 A1 - Jeeshan Chowdhury KW - hackathon KW - hacking health KW - healthcare KW - social innovation KW - technology entrepreneurship AB - Healthcare is not sustainable and still functions with outdated technology (e.g., pagers, paper records). Top-down approaches by governments and corporations have failed to deliver digital technologies to modernize healthcare. Disruptive innovation must come from the ground up by bridging the gap between front-line health experts and innovators in the latest web and mobile technology. Hacking Health is a hackathon that is focused on social innovation more than technical innovation. Our approach to improve healthcare is to pair technological innovators with healthcare experts to build realistic, human-centric solutions to front-line healthcare problems.
