MIT Virtual HealthHACK 2020 Connects International Members to Solve COVID-19 Health Challenges

The D. H. Chen Foundation joined forces with MIT Node and MIT Hacking Medicine in late April, hosting the first “virtual” hackathon due to the outbreak of the COVID-19. More than 380 engineers, designers, health-care professionals and others from 16 different time zones took part, sharing the same goal of finding practical solutions to improve mental health and well-being brought down by the pandemic. Over 40 teams submitted their solutions and more event details are available here on the MIT News:
