An event focused on improving health care on Vancouver Island is making its return for a fifth year.
Island Health is looking for volunteers for their annual Code Hack event being held from March 7-9 at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria.
The event is about people coming together to create innovative new ways to help the healthcare system while competing against a 24-hour clock and each other.
100 people are being searched for to participate in the event to be put into small teams to form pitches and create their solutions that solve healthcare challenges.
Teams will be given access to things like 3-D printers, programmable WI-FI enabled microchips, and the Island Health simulation lab to bring their pitches to life.
Volunteers don’t need to be tech savvy or work in healthcare to participate in the event as it’s designed for all people with the goal of improving healthcare.
There is no cost to participate and anyone looking to sign up can click here.
The deadline to register is February 2.
