Sponsor Challenges

Athenahealth Challenge

Challenge: Eliminate physician burnout

Have you ever been at the doctor’s office sitting there while they stare away clicking through screens and pecking away at a keyboard? Today’s technology has done wonders for data capture, but it often gets in the doctor’s way of a meaningful connection with the patients. Seldom do we pause to consider what the doctor might be going through. High costs, heightened documentation, clunky software, and siloed information are keeping our doctors from doing the work they love to do—care for patients. More so, they’re causing stress, burnout, exhaustion, and depression in doctors, worsening projected physician shortage and having far-reaching consequences for care teams, patients, and the greater healthcare system.

We’re challenging you to find ways to break down those barriers and introduce a frictionless workflow into doctors’ day-to-days. Think through solutions that will remove burden from physicians’ lives, enable them to feel more capable in tackling their workloads, improve their experience, and empower them to be more present in moments of care. We want you to move past the dictation and voice assistant capabilities we’re already seeing in market and innovate in ways and spaces still unclaimed.

Some of the areas your solution could focus on include:

• Killing the time it takes for doctors to complete documentation after work (1-2 hours at home after already long and stressful shifts)
• Surfacing only the most important notifications for doctors every day (vs. the average 77 pings they get today)
• Reducing the number of administrative hands that patient information has to touch to move from hospital to hospital
• Driving collaboration efficiency amongst the care team
• Alleviating physician shortages in underserved markets
• Improving the health and wellbeing of clinicians by helping restore joy in practicing medicine

We’ve got a lot of work to do, so let’s get started. Use athenahealth APIs to beat burnout with innovative solutions.

Fitbit Challenge

Challenge: To participate in the Fitbit challenge, build an application to help individuals with diabetes, heart, sleep or mental health conditions better manage their day-to-day life. To achieve this goal, use the Fitbit OS SDK (which uses JavaScript, CSS and SVG) [1] to build for our smart watches (Ionic and Versa) or use our Web API (ReST API) [2] to integrate within our platform. All participants must comply with Fitbit’s terms for development.

Helix Challenge

Helix empowers developers to find novel ways to use genetic data. In a world where you have full access to your genomic data, what apps would you have a use for using that data? What services would you like to have the ability to leverage your genetic data for the ultimate personalized experience? Create an experience centered on genetic data to help somebody live a happier and healthier life everyday.

For example, your experience could:

• Provide insights on health or predisposition to certain conditions given genetic information and family history (e.g. heart disease risk or hereditary cancer risk)
• Create custom diet plans around micro and macro nutrients based on a person’s ability to metabolize certain nutrients by looking at their DNA
• Recommend diet and exercise routines by looking at genetics around BMI, obesity, and saturated fats
• Ancestry composition based on comparing your DNA to DNA from global populations
• User data collection for use in a research study

Redox Challenge

Challenge: For top healthcare organizations, the goals of healthcare IT are often framed around the Quadruple Aim:

1. Improve the patient experience

2. Improve efficiency of care delivery

3. Improve the health of population

4. Improve the provider experience

Create a tool that uses data driven metrics to support how you’re meeting 1 or more of these goals. In order to make sure that your patient’s primary care team understands the services your providing or information you’re collecting, use Redox to integrate your information into their workflow.

Softheon Challenge

Participants of Softheon’s challenge may select one or multiple of the following:

Option 1: Machine Learning

There are many unexplored ways to collect data. Using machine learning, we invite you to create a dynamic UI form to collect information from healthcare consumers and store information from each session. This could be driven from a state transition graph also known as a deterministic finite automaton (DFA).

For example, your solution could:

• Ask a series of questions, where answers drive the following questions
• Aggregate data and learn from it
• Make enhancements to the form automatically to enhance the UI experience.

Option 2: Wallet API

The Softheon Wallet is a RESTful web service designed to enable applications to securely and easily accept payments while minimizing your PCI-DSS scope.

Our API has pragmatic, resource-oriented URLs, and leverages standard HTTP response codes and messages to indicate API errors. We also use standard HTTP verbs and authentication schemes, which are easily used by built-in HTTP clients available in most development languages as well as stand-alone clients, such as cURL and Postman.

The Softheon Wallet uses a process known as tokenization to capture sensitive payment card or bank account information, store it securely, and return a reference token that can be used to make future payments. The tokenization process can enable your application to accept customer payments without ever having their sensitive payment card information touch your servers.

For this challenge, create a solution that uses this technology to help consumers make a payment using a non-traditional device.

Examples:

• Voice Assistant – Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, Cortana
• Chat Bot

Option 3: Enterprise API

The Enterprise API is a RESTful web service designed to interact with core resources of Softheon. Our API has pragmatic, resource-oriented URLs, and leverages standard HTTP response codes and

messages to indicate API errors. We also use standard HTTP verbs and authentication schemes, which are easily used by built-in HTTP clients available in most programming languages as well as stand-alone clients, such as cURL and Postman.

The API uses OAuth2 bearer token authentication. You will need to request tokens using the Softheon Identity API before you can invoke the Enterprise API.

For this challenge, use the Enterprise API as a content management repository for the Wallet API.

Examples:

• Create an administrative portal for storing payment transactions as entities in Softheon.
• Store user shopping habits and geolocation to identify shopping trends on a given website.
• Now’s your chance to use your skills and data insights to build the future of healthcare – and win some great prizes.

TokBox Challenge

With rising healthcare costs and a huge demand for quality care, telemedicine and telehealth solutions are becoming increasingly important. TokBox makes it easy to add HIPAA-compliant live video and voice into any iOS, Android or Web JS app, making communications within telehealth services seamless. TokBox is used today within major telehealth apps including InTouch Health, One Medical, BetterHelp, Babylon, Doxy.me, and many more

Office of the Chief Technology Officer, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Challenge

Opioid-involved deaths are continuing to increase in the United States. More than three out of five drug overdose deaths involve an opioid. Combating the opioid crisis is a priority for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

• Treatment Track: In addressing the opioid epidemic, HHS is focused on improving access to treatment and recovery services and promoting evidence-based approaches to reduce opioid overdoses, overdose-related mortality, and the prevalence of opioid use disorder. How can you help federal, state, and local stakeholders improve access to effective treatment and recovery services?
• Usage Track: One of HHS’s key priorities in responding to the opioid epidemic is to strengthen its understanding of the epidemic through better public health data and reporting. A critical element of this understanding relates to knowing who is at risk for opioid misuse or abuse. How can you help federal, state, and local stakeholders identify at-risk populations and their underlying risk characteristics of opioid misuse or abuse?
• Prevention Track: HHS and public health officials across the country are committed to ensuring preventative resources and overdose-reversing drugs are made available to the public. To adequately supply and position resources, federal, state, and local stakeholders are faced with the complex challenge of predicting and identifying the supply of the full range of opioids contributing to the crisis. How can you help federal, state, and local stakeholders predict and analyze the supply and movement of legal and illicit opioids?
