OpenText is happy to announce our second hackathon, Hacknosis: Sustainable MedTech.

This hackathon is about respecting the environment and standing united for the climate by driving sustainable innovation through technology.

Sustainable development is the critical point where human, social, environmental, and economic needs intersect. If you’re not familiar with how technology can drive sustainable change, this hackathon will cover the following topics:

  • Drive environmental change through green coding to reduce carbon emissions
  • Remove code bias through design concepts that drive social change
  • Drive innovative processes, signals, and workflows through data orchestration

There are 3 challenges, multiple prizes and the opportunity to win quick a new bug finder challenge to submit any bugs found during development with a cash prize for each unique report. Each challenge focuses on the environmental, social and technological impacts technology can aid in designing sustainable solutions that benefit everyone.

We can't wait to see your ideas come to life! For more information and to register, go to: https://hacknosis.hackerearth.com/

    Hi @A George,

    Should the name of the first theme 'MedTech Sustainability' be made more generic because the description states that the developers can provide the hack within multiple domains:

    • Healthcare/Biotech
    • Cold Chain
    • Supply Chain
    • Waste management

    Hi Sai,

    MedTech is a broad domain that encompasses many aspects including and not limited to instruments, apparatuses, appliances, software, implants, materials, waste management, supply chain, etc. Developers are welcome to build solutions that are domain or subdomain specific. For example, developers can use data to track waste management from hospitals to disposal to provide better reporting and insights that may help hospitals or the waste management firms find insights on how to improve the process or find ways to re-use waste materials to reduce their carbon footprint.

    We'll be covering this topic and more during the live sessions, join us to learn more!
