The Bara.1 HealthTech Hackathon

From 24 - 24 February 2019 WHI held the BARA.1 Healthtech hackathon. We brought together Wits' paediatric surgery nurses and doctors together with entrepreneurs, designers, developers and engineers for a 16-hour hackathon. 5 teams competed to find the best solution to the problem area identified within the paediatric surgery department. WHI is currently working with the department of paediatric surgery as well as our partners and mentors to further develop, test and implement the projects created at the Bara.1 hackathon.
