OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS

Thank you for putting your skills to the test for the benefit of children’s health.

On behalf of everyone at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, we sincerely wish this to be one of the most meaningful innovation events you experience. You all are a part of today’s outcomes: whether you are judging or mentoring, sponsoring or volunteering. And hackers, whether or not you are a winner this time, we want you to gain something even more valuable than a prize: a view into a whole new field of challenges to explore, the “pain points” of pediatric medicine and health.

Solving problems at the intersection of biology, technology, and human nature, your talents will be stoked to full steam. As you analyze-collaborate-build-break-repeat, keep in mind that your solution will be more valuable than the immediate problem it might solve. Ultimately, your idea could change the trajectory of a child’s life — and in so doing, change the future.

Again, thank you, and have fun!

WELCOME

The mission of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh is to improve the health and well-being of children, teenagers, and young adults, through excellence in patient care, teaching, research, and advocacy.

SATURDAY SPEAKERS

Nick Adkins, 12 noon speaker“Ego is like dust in the eyes. Clear the ego and see the world.” This quote describes the unfolding path of Nick Adkins from health care executive to kilt-wearing digital health evangelist.

A few of Nick’s initial stops were as a suit-wearing MBA for the Vanderbilt Health Plans and a serial entrepreneur in Nashville. Nick attended Burning Man in 2010 for the first time and the dust cleared from his eyes. He returned to Nashville, ditched the suits, sold a company, and set out on a new adventure that took him to Portland, Oregon. Nick is a co-founder of ReelDx, the creators of the medvid.io open API for secure

asynchronous video management, a breakthrough in telehealth. He serves on the advisory board at Cloudbreak Health, one of the leading telemedicine platforms in the U.S. He also serves on the advisory board at doc.ai an AI company with the mission to decentralize precision medicine onto the blockchain. In the very near future, human biological profiles will be consumer-controlled, blockchain-based, AI-powered, and omics-data-centric.

Nick’s passion for seeing the awesomeness in people, connecting with them on a personal level, and sharing in their stories is what sets him apart from other leaders in health care. He has helped to push the industry to remember that patients/people/we are at the center of our work. His commitment to being present and open, listening to understand, and sharing heart speak allows us to see the best of ourselves in each other. Nick is also founder of the global pinksocks movement. We see the good in the world! When you believe it, you see it. Keep doing that!

Jake PloegerJake is the president of PJ Dick Industrial, Director of Corporate Business Development, and the future Co-Chief Executive Officer for PJ Dick-Trumbull-Lindy Paving, the largest general contractor headquartered in the Pittsburgh region.

TL;DR. Be respectful. Harassment and abuse are never tolerated. If you are in a situation that makes you uncomfortable at an MLH Member Event, if the event itself is creating an unsafe or inappropriate environment, or if interacting with a MLH representative or event organizer makes you uncomfortable, please report it using the procedures included in this document.

Major League Hacking (MLH) stands for inclusivity. We believe that every single person has the right to hack in a safe and welcoming environment.

Harassment includes but is not limited to offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, social class, economic status, veteran status, sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. If what you’re doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop doing it.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers, organizers, MLH staff, and anyone else at the event are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, attendees should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material both in their hacks and during the event.

Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, MLH may take any action it deems appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no eligibility for reimbursement or refund of any type.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact MLH using the reporting procedures defined below.

MLH representatives will be happy to help participants contact campus security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all hackathon venues, online interactions in relation to the event, hackathon-related social events, and on hackathon supplied transportation.
