CBN/RI Seniors Featured in Weill Cornell Hackathon Event
"The Hackathon is a collaborative event with participants from Weill Cornell Medicine Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) partners (Cornell Ithaca, Cornell Tech, Hospital for Special Surgery, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Hunter School of Nursing, Hunter College, etc.) as well as schools and businesses in the NY and Northeast Region.
"There has also been a unique community partnership continued with residents of the Carter Burden Roosevelt Island Senior Center, one of whom submitted a challenge that a team is working to solve (Team choke rescuer #4). This sprint-like event in which teams of individuals from diverse backgrounds will work together on a specific project will feature a wide range of novel software and hardware solutions, including a custom prosthetic hand, a digital doctor’s kit, a device to assist a choking person who is alone, and a tech solution to help refugee mothers with breastfeeding, among others.
"After the Hackathon weekend, teams have an additional two weeks to finalize their projects and present before a panel of judges at a Final Showcase on Friday, June 1, 2018. This event will be an excellent time to see how each team has risen to the challenge of solving the question posed to them and will be a first look at some ideas that may soon widely benefit patients in a clinical setting or positively impact public health."
The Daily has been invited to attend and share this success story.
