UIMSAHack 2023 Tracks
Health Access and Quality
Health care access in Nigeria is very limited in all dimensions due to factors within and beyond the health system; the quality of healthcare is also disproportionate with the middle to lower classes getting subpar healthcare services. Solutions that improve the access to, and the qualify of healthcare delivery in Nigeria are anticipated.
Health Insurance
According to a report from Dataphtye, about 3% of Nigerians have health insurance which is provided mostly by employers. For this track, we anticipate solutions that will greatly improve the penetration, and by extension, the understanding of health insurance in Nigeria.
Health Data and Information
We believe that patients and providers need better avenues to easily access and understand health data as a function of self or as a function of the population.
Healthcare Financing
The underdevelopment of the healthcare sector can be attributed to the lack of proper financing. Healthcare consumers are also unable to gain access to quality healthcare due to lack of funding. We crave solutions that make it easier for all healthcare stakeholders to gain access to financing.
Predictive Medicine
Solutions that aim to identify patients or communities at risk of developing a disease will influence timely prevention of that disease.
Personalized Therapy
For this track, participants are expected to submit solutions that use the patient's distinct information to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease.
Others
We understand that the aforementioned tracks might be inexhaustive; participants are allowed to submit solutions that solve problems in the Nigerian healthcare system not mentioned above. These could include Men's/Women's Health, Digital Therapeutics, Patient Monitoring, and so on.
