We believe in creating as many opportunities as possible to help nurture innovation in healthcare
Over the course of two days in July (2-3), the Enterprise & Innovation and the Advanced Courses and Scientific Conferences teams based at the Wellcome Genome Campus hosted the first UK genomes and biodata hackathon (#BioDataHack) because we believe that code can lead to improvements in health outcomes for everyone.
Unlike most hacks, this was more than a gathering of coders in the same space working on a single or several smaller projects. This was a hackathon with a strong entrepreneurial flavour bringing together not just academia and industry from the life sciences and pharma, but also people who could provide patients’ perspectives, UX specialists, as well as those working actively at the fault line of scientific research and business. Collectively, they came up with some pretty neat solutions for innovative new approaches in healthcare.
