About General Electric Precision Health Challenge

COVID has revolutionized the healthcare ecosystem as we know it, right from the way doctor-patient interaction used to happen from the way diagnosis/treatment is delivered to the patients.

It has also exposed deep underlying problems in the healthcare sector. In doing so, however, the pandemic points out many areas with huge scope of improvement ranging from personalized health communications to the ability to diagnose diseases remotely.

Hacking is building things that you always wanted to have but no one has built it yet. It’s to come up with an amazing idea and work tirelessly on it. It is to fail, fail again and fail better. Try out new things and learn while doing that. It’s to work together, collaborate and build things that are innovative. It is to be a better programmer.
