HealthCamp SFBay

We have recently confirmed that an amazing mover and shaker in the healthcare technology space, Todd Park, will be opening up the day during HealthCamp this October:

Todd Park is the go-to guy for open government at the Health and Human Services Department. As chief technology officer, he is the executive lead for the HHS (United States Department of Health and Human Services) open-government plan, which spans dozens of initiatives, and he oversees HHS’ Community Health Data Initiative, introduced in June to offer free online access to HHS data. Park is also a sponsor of the HHS Innovates contest for employees and recently flexed his social media muscles by publicizing that competition in a YouTube video with Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.

HealthCamp is going to be even more exciting this year! We will be co-hosting the Health 2.0 Developer Challenge during HealthCamp to provide a great venue to share ideas on creating new challenges and teams as well as processes to address the challenges.

The 2010 Health 2.0 Developer Challenge was launched in early June at the Community Health Data Initiative (CHDI) meeting at the IOM, with support from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Initiated in March 2010, CHDI hoped to ignite innovation using newly opened government data sets. The Health 2.0 Developer Challenge is supported by HHS but is being run by Health 2.0, the company that hosts the well known Health 2.0 Conferences. The goal is to continue the excitement of CHDI and to bring the Health 2.0 Community together for rapid application development. Anyone can submit a challenge or join a team to solve a challenge. Teams will be working on challenges over the course of the summer. Selected winners from the challenges will be showcased at the Fall Health 2.0 Conference.

The first brainstorming session (talks, sponsors, speakers, food, logistics…) for HealthCampSFBay 2010 happened yesterday in Oakland with our tried and true team from last year:

We are only a few days out from the most exciting healthcare innovation unconference of the year – HealthCamp!!! A lot of organization and planning has gone into this event and we would like to recognize our sponsors for their generous support! Kaiser Permanente donated their space at their Garfield Innovation Center and both Cisco and Intel contributed at the Innovator level.

We would also like to recognize the ongoing support we have received from Health 2.0 and the Health 2.0 Accelerator.

We could not have pulled this off without the continued support of our Supporter Level sponsors:
