WMG is pleased to be supporting 鈥檚 event, a global virtual hackathon to find technology solutions to fight the spread of COVID-19 and mitigate against its economic and societal impact.

The event organised by takes place this weekend (4^th – 5th April). There are a consortium of partners including WMG, , Case Western Reserve University鈥檚 , the Cleveland Clinic鈥檚 , , , , , , and the .

This UK-launched initiative joins the global movement of taking place around the world.

Teams of technologists, creatives, activists and experts will be launching up to 25 new applications over the weekend, as they work to help solve some of the greatest challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The innovative projects will focus on three key themes. 

These are:

鈼�&苍产蝉辫;Citizen science - solutions to empower individuals to help healthcare and the government tackle the disease faster

鈼�&苍产蝉辫;Community health - technology or applications that help the vulnerable or ensure communities have the resources to make it through the crisis

鈼�&苍产蝉辫;Mass coordination - solutions that unlock the power of personal data to help mobilisation and coordination of resources  

Mentoring, resources, and support from experienced technology and product leaders will guide each project as they compete to make the biggest impact on the virus and its effects on society. Viable solutions will be offered funding and professional developer support, and the entrepreneurs leading them will be encouraged to continue development and bring the solutions they have created to market to help communities, patients, and healthcare services.

Professor Irene Ng 奥惭骋鈥檚 Professor of Marketing and Service Systems and CEO of Dataswift explained: 鈥淲e鈥檙e giving people a chance to respond with action, by working together to improve the lives of everyone affected by COVID-19.鈥�

鈥淥ur goal is to band together to help communities, patients, and their families using what we know best - technology. We need to ensure that in these difficult times opportunistic app makers aren鈥檛 hoovering up our data, and to avoid a scenario where the world ends up worse than it was before. This collective action will prove that the ethical data economy can trump the surveillance economy.鈥�

Hack from Home is actively looking for participants, mentors, and sponsors. Anyone interested in getting involved is invited to register online or get in touch .

Professor Ng added: 鈥淟et鈥檚 roll up our proverbial sleeves with the research, technology, and business communities and demonstrate how much public value we can create when we鈥檙e working together.鈥�

Youngjin Yoo, Professor of Design and Innovation at Case Western Reserve University and Faculty Director of xLab has highlighted that: "The fight against the pandemic is not just a medical problem - it is a behavioural, and a social problem. Our economy, our social lives, and our community are all affected by the pandemic. A multi-disciplinary, multi-industry approach to this struggle is required. And the market failure of the ethical use of personal data is one of the challenges.

鈥淭he Covid19 pandemic is demonstrating in real time why the society desperately needs a scalable ethical technology infrastructure. This hackathon will bring bright minds together to address this complex and rapidly evolving problem."
