Transforming Public Safety in WA through Innovation & Collaboration
The recent Western Australia Police Force x WADSIH Hackathon 2024 was a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in addressing critical public safety challenges.
The WA Health Hackathon is back!
Submit your Healthcare Challenge for 2022We are currently looking for real healthcare challenges to be explored during the 2022 WA Health Hackathon.
The WA Health Hackathon will bring together a diverse group of data professionals and students to explore innovative digital and data-driven solutions to real world healthcare challenges. Teams will take part in a range of upskilling/training sessions and develop prototype solutions for specific healthcare challenges, applying techniques such as data analysis and visualisation, machine learning, and digitisation.
Submitting a Healthcare Challenge
Challenges can be put forward by WA-based clinicians, medical researchers, provider organisations, academia, government, and industry.Each challenge submitted for the Hackathon must have a clearly defined problem and an assigned domain expert. The assigned domain expert must be available for a minimum of 30 minutes during the first week of the Hackathon (8-12 August 2022) for a Q&A session with the team assigned to work on their challenge. This can be done virtually or in-person. We are also encouraging all domain experts and challenge owners to attend the final pitch night scheduled for Thursday, 18 August 2022 – please save the date in your calendars.
WADSIH and our event partners will also work with individuals submitting challenges to identify and access datasets necessary for prototyping during the Hackathon.
If you need support in defining your challenge, or you’d like to discuss your challenge’s eligibility, please reach out to the WADSIH team, wadsih@curtin.edu.au

The recent Western Australia Police Force x WADSIH Hackathon 2024 was a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation in addressing critical public safety challenges.
The 2023 WA Health Hackathon demonstrated the immense potential that emerges when innovative minds collaborate with cutting-edge technology to address pressing challenges in the healthcare sector.
A cornerstone of this year’s Hackathon is the pioneering introduction of synthetic data. Using these data sets offers the best of both worlds: replicating real-world trends without risking genuine patient or system data.
We would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land on which the WADSIH office is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation.
