We’re on a mission to empower people to take better care of themselves and others.
Already you can see that healthcare is leaning away from fee-based services to value-based care that puts the patient first. Plus, the rise of cloud-based data, health apps, consumer sensors are transforming the way we track and interpret personal information. You’re probably using some of your smart phone health apps and sensors now.
What if we could connect all this data from personal, clinical, environmental sources and help consumers become active participants in their health? And help them make decisions whether they are in the hospital or the home?
We believe this is possible and the time is now.
We have designed an open, cloud-based healthcare platform. Philips HealthSuite DigitalPlatform is designed to collect, aggregate and analyze data from almost any kind of device. Our goal is to make app development easier and faster, using data from multiple sources to enable both better-informed clinical decisions and more personalized care.
All we need is you.
Join us and create some health-based apps that connect clinical, consumer and environmental data to help people make better decisions.
What's in it for you:
- Be part of the early adopters crowd to work on this community preview software platform.
- Interact with key opinion leaders in healthcare and technology.
- Network with other developers, UX designers, business entrepreneurs, and healthcare providers
- Win some fabulous prizes, including 1st place - Tickets to SXSW, airfare and hotel accommodations and more!
Do we have your attention?

Eligibility
1. This hackathon is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia and United States territories who are 18+ or older. All participants will need to show a valid government-issued photo ID at team registration (e.g. driver’s license, passport). The following are not eligible to enter or win the Competition: employees, officers, directors and contractors of Philips and/or any member of their immediate family (i.e., a spouse, parent, grandparent, child or grandchild) or household of any of the foregoing individuals, and hackathon event partners.
2. Pre-registration – Everyone must pre-register as an individual before 6pm Friday, March 6th so we will know who’s coming and how many teams we are projecting. When you arrive on Friday, you’ll be forming teams based on your interest areas; you must be there. Then you will be considered a team registrant/attendee. We will give you more information at that time.
3. Teams: We encourage collaboration; all participants must be part of a team.
• Must have 1 person designated as the leader, with at least 4 people
min/team, 6 people/team max.
• There needs to be at least 1 developer role on the team.
• The rest of the members can be chosen from designers,
developers, healthcare providers (HCPs), business entrepreneurs, students,
patient advocates, patients/consumers, etc. We believe that it helps to generate
new apps with teams that show a variety of backgrounds rather than having
teams with all the same roles (e.g. 4 developers on a team).
4. All team participants must create an API (“App”) using the “Community Preview” software for the HealthSuite Digital Platform (HSDP).
5. The App created must be original code from the team.
