Description

APHA Codeathon for ACA

With the launch of the Health Insurance Marketplace and historic investments in prevention and wellness, now is the time to help leverage the Affordable Care Act to transform our nation’s health.

Join developers, designers, coders, public health professionals, students and others to create apps, platforms, visualizations and other innovations to support public health agencies and organizations in implementing the ACA.

Develop an app to connect community members to tobacco cessation services. Design a program to help make preventive health screenings more widely accessible. Create tools to collect data for improved public health research.

The APHA codeathon will be held Nov. 1-2 in conjunction with our Annual Meeting and Exhibition at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. APHA’s codeathon is free to attend, but you must register in advance. Separate registration is required to attend the APHA Annual Meeting.

Innovations created during the codeathon will be judged by a panel of experts who will award prizes for winning entries.

Register for free today!
