Build tech solutions that improve the patient-clinician experience.
FHIR @HACK | July 9 – 11th, 2021
The Challenge
Healthcare providers regularly collect sensitive medical information about their patients. This forces clinicians to spend excessive amounts of time on data entry, and burdens hospitals with the responsibility of organizing, maintaining, and protecting a massive database of confidential patient records.
Develop a solution that prioritizes patient/clinician experience. This solution should have:
- built-in features to respect patient data
- interoperability across platforms
- clean, intuitive interface and app experience
Since there are several other initiatives that are focused on COVID, we would like you to think of non-COVID related problems and solutions. We’ve all been patients before, so take some time to consider — how can you make the doctor-patient experience better?
Submission Guidelines
Give us your best 2 min pitch of your solution. The pitch should include the following:
- Problem statement
- Solution overview
- Working demo/UX design walkthrough
- Why is your solution different?
- Any ROI/metrics
- Optional: Use of the @platform and/or FHIR resources
Judging Criteria
The Pitch/Demo will be judged according to the following criteria:
- Creative use of technology to improve the patient/clinician experience (25%)
- Simple and intuitive UI (25%)
- Standout features that differentiate your solution from other existing solutions in the market (25%)
- Focus on privacy and protecting patient’s personal data (25%)
- Bonus points: Use of @platform and FHIR technology in the app
The hackathon begins at 3PM PST on Friday, July 9 and ends at 12PM PST on Sunday, July 11. We’ll be releasing an official schedule soon, so check back later for more details!

Currently a clinical informatics fellow at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he is also a Flutter developer with a particular interest in global health informatics.

About Us
MayJuun is a team of clinicians, designers, and developers who are fed up with the state of technology in healthcare. We’re frustrated by poorly designed tools, layouts, and interfaces, and decided to take matters into our own hands.
We are hosting this hackathon in partnership with The @ Company, the creator of a privacy-first platform that gives people control over their own data.
