The Tampa VA Medical Center is hosting the second annual Veterans Health Hackathon in collaboration with The American Legion, MIT Hacking Medicine, Microsoft and VHA Innovation Ecosystem to identify, develop and support frontline-driven AI solutions that address challenges facing veteran healthcare.
The event will be held in conjunction with The American Legion’s 106th National Convention in Tampa, Fla., from Aug. 22-24 at the Tampa Marriott Water Street, 505 Water St.
This year’s Hackathon will have three tracks that focus on problem solving key challenges:
