TRACK: Patient Safety Technology Challenge

We’re in search of bold new thinking. This is an invitation to solve the problem of medical error that harms millions of U.S. patients, kills approximately 250,000 patients, and costs billions of dollars every year. We’re calling on HopHacks teams to envision the best technology-enabled patient safety solution that has the potential to avert patient harm and save lives. You do not need to have any background in healthcare to participate! To be eligible to win your project must align with one of the following five leading patient safety challenges facing health care across the continuum of care: Medication errors, procedural/surgical errors, errors during routine patient care (e.g. pressure ulcers, blood clots, falls), infections and diagnostic safety.
