Join the Student Track and compete for free entrance tickets to DevDays!
Experts from all over the world come together at DevDays (https://www.devdays.com/) for three days of programming, testing, discussing, socializing, and education. DevDays is all about making healthcare interoperability accessible to anyone. That’s why we want students to not only understand the theory behind interoperability and exchanging healthcare data, but also letting them engage with it and put theory into practice.
Student teams may choose to participate in the online hackathon with or without joining the competition. But please note that you need to join the competition in order to be able to win free entrance tickets to DevDays (3-day entrance; maximum of 3 tickets per team). When joining the competition and winning the tickets to DevDays, we count on your presence at our conference which will take place in Redmond, WA from June 10-12, 2019. More information on the procedure can be found on this web page.
Come out and hack! Please register here by close of March 18th, 2019.
This is your chance to be creative and compete for the DevDays Student Track Cup!

PART 2 – PREPARE AN OPEN ASSIGNMENT
To join the hackathon we ask you to prepare an open assignment. You are free to build anything you like as long as you use FHIR to exchange data. For example, send your blood pressure measurements to a FHIR server or build an app to fill out an online medical questionnaire.
Note you can find a list of available FHIR servers here: http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=Publicly_Available_FHIR_Servers_for_testing
After finishing your initial assignment, complete the following steps:
- Try to connect to at least one other FHIR server than the one you originally used in your assignment.
- Discuss the changes you need to make to be able to talk to other FHIR servers and implement them. Test your work on at least one of the test-servers.
- Did you correctly apply FHIR?
- Can you make improvements to make your application easier to use?
