EpiHack is a hack-a-thon that brings together developers and health professionals to create technology that addresses specific problems related to infectious diseases. During an EpiHack, he participates full time with a group of ~ 50 health and technology experts for a five-day collaboration workshop to find and report outbreaks faster. EpiHack Myanmar 2016 has been organized by Skoll Global Threats Fund and InSTEDD, with the support of the Myanmar Ministry of Health and the Malaria Consortium.
The first day of EpiHack was about introducing and discussing the topic. There were some introductory presentations on what was expected of us this week, and then we dabbled in some ideas about health work done in Myanmar and the Greater Mekong subregion. During that afternoon, we split into groups to discuss and come up with different topics to work on for the rest of the week. The training of health workers, the ability of citizens to get in touch with the Ministry of Health and ways to disseminate health advice to the general population in case of an outbreak were some of the problems we encountered.
