The People’s Vote: Health Hackathon

What a weekend! We had five groups work on six ideas. The judges deliberated on Sunday and announced a winner. Their feedback was encouraging, indicating that the groups had worked on topical issues, and that they should continue working on their solutions.

The groups are presented below in no particular order. Please get your friends, colleagues and family to vote so that the people also have a vote. Vote for the group that you want to be the winner. You have until 10.30 am on Tuesday, 29th March 2016.
