Innovation Jam
4 – 6 June 2019
Building on the success of previous Hacking Health events, we’re hosting the Innovation Jam at the 2019 eHealth Expo.
The three-day event brings together a variety of bright and diverse thinkers to shine a light on key problems and opportunities in healthcare. Researchers, students, startups and corporates will work with healthcare professionals to come up with innovative solutions and initiatives.
At the end of the innovation jam – a partnership between eHealth Queensland and Hacking Health Queensland – participants will pitch their ideas and designs on the expo's main stage.
