January 29, 2018 – The McMaster Institute for Research on Aging is pleased to sponsor Hacking Health Hamilton, an annual hackathon that's designed to improve healthcare by inviting technology creators and healthcare professionals to collaborate on realistic, human-centric solutions to front-line problems. This year, the hackathon will focus on identifying new technologies and services to support healthy aging. It will take place over the weekend of February 9 - 11, and is expected to be a fun, hands-on event where small teams tackle tough problems in a supportive community of peers and mentors.
