New Jersey SDOH Hackathon – Enabling Tech

Cooper University Health Care’s Innovation Center hosted its second New Jersey Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Hackathon on February 28, 2025. The future of healthcare lies in understanding that environmental and social factors account for over 80% of health outcomes —where we live, work, and play greatly influence our health. The hackathon aims to create hyper-local innovation engines and foster entrepreneurial mindsets to improve health outcomes in our communities. To connect these innovators with healthcare executives and investors, finalists are joining us at HIMSS25 Global Conference and Exhibition and EMERGE Innovation Experience. Learn what's involved in standing up a hackathon and the unifying roles played across HIMSS members, Chapters, and Organizational Affiliates.
