Swiss Open Data Camp - Make.Opendata.Ch

 

The first four Open Data Camps in Zürich, Lausanne, Geneva, and Bern were a marked success: dozens of pioneer projects were initiated and implemented. The next one is aimed at the topic of Health, one close to everyone's heart.

 

Good health is ever more a question of good data, with health services in the middle of an information revolution, vital information will become more understandable - not necessarily more complex - as the data becomes accessible. The ways in which “Open Health Data” can bring transparency, innovation and efficiency into the health system, what Open Data can mean for a “Life Science Hub” like Basel or Geneva: we will look into these questions and more together at the make.opendata.ch hackday at the end of September.

Expected Participants:

We are convinced that the thematic focus will strengthen the community of designers, developers, activists and journalists and foster innovation around making health more efficient and more transparent through open data apps.

To participate in this camp everyone is qualified, who has got interest in the topic of mobility as a customer, maybe even has got some specific expertise in the field of transportation etc., experience with and/or interest in data visualization or would like to contribute with his developer-skills to amazing ideas and projects.

Together thinkers and doers get things done and make a difference. Your ideas and your competence are in high demand to shape to future of how we deal with data in this country, so if you too feel it's time to make a difference sign up as:
