March 18th - March 20th: I was a participant in the mhealth hackathon in Brussels at Pfizer. The mhealth hackathon is a competition for mobile health solutions. Teams are formed at the beginning of the weekend and an idea must be pitched at the end of the weekend. Jury members were investors, officials of the Riziv and staff of the state health department. Our group suggested an app that automatically pushes your dose and frequency of medication from the pharmacist to your phone: Pillplan.
