The hackathon last Feb 4 – 5, 2017 generated 20 technology driven solutions for healthcare and the medical field. Developing and coding the solutions overnight within a span of 20 hours, these solutions were generated after undergoing mentorship from a diverse group of consultants ranging from technical to business acumen of mentors.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">The hackathon participants came from colleges and universities with those as young as senior high school and college level students. </span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Team YouthHack developed a smartphone app that would help in ensuring that Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) be done properly and correctly. Citing statistics on the mortality rate of heart attack victims, the timely application of  CPR will spell the difference between life and death. Upon utilization  of the app at a time of emergency, the smartphone will tell through voice prompts if the procedure is being done correctly by the one conducting the CPR. </span></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahWzDGJvtDG2i0S4nyB1HSakreXtHQytSzVo8BqTGtRXqW9OJO4TiwloFZjCJGR15kszIr3VByDb5xMVyNy1plWB7uAybOylPWpUilVQ8eu1GqsZx7PCFd8O8Qv-A7yN_j_0TZ7RmJHkh/s1600/Hack4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhahWzDGJvtDG2i0S4nyB1HSakreXtHQytSzVo8BqTGtRXqW9OJO4TiwloFZjCJGR15kszIr3VByDb5xMVyNy1plWB7uAybOylPWpUilVQ8eu1GqsZx7PCFd8O8Qv-A7yN_j_0TZ7RmJHkh/s400/Hack4.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">CPR Monitor</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">This will be very useful for frontline responders or even those who are trained in basic life support when faced with an emergency situation.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Another app developed is called HazMap.

The reason for the age requirement is that the age gaps between the participants be kept to a minimum.<br /><br />Teams were formed composed of 3 – 5 members each and they may come from varying fields of discipline. What is important is that the team be able to develop a solution, have the solution coded or programmed so the solution developed can be demonstrated in front of judges. During the development of the solutions, there are mentors who will be resource persons for the teams wherein experience based guidance will be available.<br /><br />Viability of the solution developed together with the impact to be created in healthcare and the medical field will be the prime criteria for the top three winners of the completion.<br /><br />The top three teams will be announced on the afternoon of February 5, 2017.</span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5544835517721897626&postID= 1068164957373270814&target=facebook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9Bov-5jxblscorzGCopVL5Xz68i6dvP9jIudFNjEHqR8MMdmVfysddhDjGUhuvlerb67aHnfQDJEUeUQZ5kjo_Wx4ig1t1Up2WOpNkMj-NaNLwPtxqdA3ez_SOd-1IwiRZWwI2BCbpA/s1600/sharefb185.png" /></a> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5544835517721897626&postID= 1068164957373270814&target=twitter" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMggqAn9B6n_ue3iBOqDQgfJmfpRxWvLyKJRt7IFP17wasPqRAsizTNNHpZHUKMuDMZm5A4duwa4m0IFs-cBh79J03YQVVToXxjf2LZ6qNn4CyLwa8Wy-c4jj2UC8QFH081Ja_q0iaXdM/s1600/sharetw185.png" /></a></div>
