Big Data Analytics App ‘MediDash’ Wins Philips HealthSuite Digital Hackathon

healthsuite

Royal Philips has announced the winners of its first-ever HealthSuite Hackathon.  The winning team, ‘Team 6 Analytics,’ beat out 20 other teams, including a total of 108 participants designing new prototype applications for the Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform (HSDP).

The Digital Platform is an open, secure and interoperable cloud-based infrastructure to support the secure collection of all types of health related data, allowing for integration and analysis. It will enable care professionals and individuals to make much better use of this information and represents a new era in collaborative, connected clinical care.

Hackathon participants included developers, entrepreneurs, healthcare professionals, patients and designers. They were each challenged to create applications to support the collection, aggregation and communication of healthcare data – clinical, consumer and environmental – to enable better informed clinical decisions, more personalized care, and improve and benefit healthcare services.

MediDash App Winner 

The winning prototype application named ‘MediDash’ was developed over one weekend. The solution is a dashboard that brings pertinent patient data from disparate sources in- and outside the hospital together to optimize decision making in clinical care. For example, a radiologist looking at a chest X-ray exam could also use other data of the patient profile such as the respiratory condition. By bridging the gap between professional and personal health data across the health continuum, this solution brings the vision of the Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform to life.

‘Team 6 Analytics’ will be recognized at a special event being held Saturday, March 14 at South By Southwest® Interactive in the Philips Motivate Lounge in the AustinConvention Center, and will be conducting demonstrations of ‘MediDash’ throughout the event.  The team will receive $54k in cash and prizes, including a trip to South By Southwest® Interactive.

All 21 teams participating in the HealthSuite Hackathon focused on one of six key areas, including consumer engagement, employee wellness, analytics, care coordination, health care at home, and chronic disease management. Applications were judged on the conceptual design approach, technical feasibility, creativity, and level of completeness.  

Philips is working to create a suite of open application programming interfaces (APIs) that can be used by developers to create innovative applications for anyone interested in improving health, including consumers, hospitals and health systems. This Developers Toolkit is expected to be available later this year.
