The University of Auckland is hosting the second annual Health Hackathon next month, again aimed at encouraging the development of new concepts and technologies for people self-managing health issues.

The Solving Self-care hackathon is designed to bring clinicians, patients and software developers together to volunteer to work on solving a problem together. It takes place over a weekend, with ideas pitched on a Friday evening and collaborators decided, following work on the project for the following two days. Judging takes place on Sunday afternoon.
