HackCOVID is a weekly anti-coronavirus international virtual hackathon created by Tech Tree Root. Combine technology, medicine, entrepreneurship, and education to defeat coronavirus!

This week's theme is HEALTH/MEDICAL. Three potential ideas to consider are projects that (1) provide better data to help the healthcare system determine where to deploy test kits, (2) geolocation-enabled apps that let people report symptoms, and (3) improve the efficiency of hospital triage systems. If you are able to combine all three aspects, go for it!

Be sure to sign up at bit.ly/HackCOVID for communication and updates. Also, tell your friends about our weekly global online hackathon!

Although each event runs for 48 hours, please be sure to get enough sleep. In fact, we scheduled this length so that you can work at a comfortable, low-stress pace over the weekend.
