Healthcare has many opportunities to better leverage technology. The chance to get involved in technology and healthcare is easier than you might think. Everyone can have, maybe everyone should have, a role in improving technology and healthcare. Hackathons offer one way in helping connect those with a passion for technology, healthcare, and love to "show not just tell" how healthcare can be better.

The PittChallenge 2020 will be the fourth annual University of Pittsburgh’s School of Pharmacy large-scale, student-run hackathon. Over the weekend of October 23rd to 25th 2020, students from across the United States will gather virtually for 48 hours (from registration to closing ceremony) to build the coolest and most innovative web, mobile, and hardware health applications; meet amazing people; and win prizes and awards. 

This year's event will be special in many ways to account for factors like COVID-19. It will feature participants with representation from top computer science and pharmacy schools around the nation. A strong focus will be placed on innovative ideas to address areas affected by COVID-19 such as telehealth, remote working/learning environments, combating social isolation, and more. 

Listen in on this conversation between David Berkowitz PharmD, PittChallenge leader Britney Stottlemeyer (PharmD, '21, and Ravi Patel, PharmD) as they discuss how events like these possible to allow anyone at any experience level to help change healthcare.
