cultivateHealth, History and Evolution

This hack-a-thon was incepted to serve a dual purpose: 1) Focus on creating a value add for the LHCF to elevate the conversation(s) in the

community relative to wellness care and 2) Deliver high value mobile and web applications that specifically focus on the needs that

the Restore Rundberg Health and Wellness Initiative Project uncovered as priorities to address.

The above word cloud is symbolic of the thought process from various stakeholders and was developed based on input from hack-a-thon project planning committee members, such as but not limited to: IBM, BlueHubHealth, UT Design Institute for Health, and others. Design thinking was critical in developing this hack-a-thon to ensure the consumer was at the center of conversations; driving consumer empowerment and engagement for long term mutually beneficial gains was the focus since its inception.

The real spark that ignited the hack-a-thon initiative was engaging existing relationships that the Chief Technology Officer brought “to the table” from past engagements (as part of isi consultants) prior to Latino HealthCare Forum (LHCF). These relationships or contacts recommended others to engage relative to goals and objectives for the LHCF.

The initial intent was to better understand the IBM Bluemix

platform and its potential to assist the LHCF achieve its mobile application development goals. Through various meetings and interactions the idea of a hack-a-thon did not materialize until one to two months prior to the IBM – LHCF meeting at IBM Austin Building 904. June 2015 marked a major milestone relative to a strategic action taken entirely by Hector Torres to “invest” in the IBM Bluemix platform for LHCF software development. This exact action garnered the attention of various IBM representatives.

This was the catalyst that put the hack-a-thon initiative into full swing and catapulted the LHCF into the epicenter of the “Austin established ecosystem”, as shown above, in the IBM SmartCamp slide presentation held at CapitalFactory.
