Rock and Heal Challenge by Digital Innovation Studio
Redefining Healthcare Systems through Digital Innovation
Join the inaugural hackathon organized by the Digital Innovation Studio @ CHI.
The Rock & Heal Challenge empowers innovators to transform healthcare through creative solutions. Fostering an environment that encourages out-of-the-box thinking and hands-on development catalyzes innovation and positive change in healthcare delivery.

Participants are expected to generate ideas and develop functional apps on AWS GenAI playground PartyRock, devising innovative solutions to tackle healthcare challenges. The solutions are expected to make a real-world impact with improvements in population health, patient care, operational efficiency, or resilience of healthcare systems.
