Connecting ICT, Design, Business and Health students to create next-gen skills, Health Technologies + Venture potential. 

1. Clinicians, Carers + Consumers - PITCH in over Twitter #HHT17UoN Friday 15Sept 7pm-9pm

We're asking our attendees and volunteers to be active on the #HHT17UoN hashtag during the course of the event. A hashtag is a way of making content visible for a particular targeted event, either as a physical conference, or a virtual chat. This pattern is used by many clinicians, carers and consumers to connect with people who share their interests across the globe - we want to harness that collective voice to help guide our teams on where you see gaps in your experience of healthcare or staying well. By helping teams to understand the challenges you face, they can develop emerging new systems to help address them. The nice thing is that you can participate either as a real name person, or you can create an account to mask or protect your identity, posting pseudonymously. That can be important when we're dealing with sensitive information. You'll see the conversation evolve in real time on sites like Symplur (http://www.symplur.com/healthcare-hashtags/hht17uon/) which provide a single, simple view of who's contributing and their level of contribution.

2. Clinicians, Carers + Consumers: SELECT a topic of interest from Friday 15Sept 7-9pm

Our competing teams will be forming on Friday night, after bold individuals set out an idea they want to work on and attract interested supporters to their team who will help them build it over the Sat/Sun of our event. These teams and their focus will be announced on this page at the end of Pitch night - that will give you an idea of the sort of things the teams are focusing on. If you're a Clinician seeking Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points, this is the time to secure your remote team ticket (only $20) if you haven't done so already and start the process of building your CPD record of participation over the weekend. If you're a Carer or Consumer who wants to be part of the team and eligible for a share of the prize money on offer, you need to also have a ticket. Only valid ticket holders are eligible for a share of the teams winnings,but we'll naturally welcome all contributions of ideas and perspectives.

3. Clinicians, Carers + Consumers: CONNECT over Secure Chat + Twitter 15-16 Sept 2017

Our teams will set up Digital Collaboration Platforms on Friday night from 930pm or Saturday morning from 8am to capture their teams Tasks, Code and Documentation: part of this will be secure Chat rooms, run on tools like HipChat to help include you as a participant in their team. The URLs for each secure chat room will be listed next to the Team List in a table on this page, along with things the team may need. Then, the team work together on solving a challenge or coming up with a novel health tech idea that you all play a part in building! It's a new format that we're trialling for Hackathons in Australia to help connect up a broader population from Regional, Rural and Remote areas of Australia - diverse teams tend to create better products. We know how important it is to be able to build solutions that reflect the needs of broad audiences, particularly those challenged by geography, distance or lack of services - please, make your voice count. It won't take much bandwidth to participate.
