背景资料：直到最近，发展卫生技术是费时和昂贵的，而且往往涉及病人，医生和其他卫生保健专业人员只是被动的最终产品的接受者。到目前为止，用户很少参与数字医疗技术的构思和创造阶段。为了最好地满足用户未得到满足的需求，需要采取跨学科和用户主导的办法，包括共同创造和用户直接反馈。在这种情况下，黑客事件已成为越来越受欢迎的用户为中心的innovation.Objective产生的热情：本案例研究介绍了准备步骤和性能的健康黑客直接涉及患者和医疗保健专业人员在各个阶段。可行性和结果进行了评估，导致系统的建议，为未来的黑客松作为自下而上的创新在healthcare.Methods的车辆的发展：为期2天的黑客松进行了2017年2月在柏林，德国。通过实地研究收集数据。研究小组随后在15次非正式会议上讨论了收集到的实地记录。结果：共有30名参与者参加，其中63%（19/30）的参与者年龄在25岁至34岁之间，30%（9/30）的参与者年龄在35岁至44岁之间，7%（2/30）的参与者年龄小于25岁。共有43%（13/30）的参与者是女性。包括患者和医护人员在内的医学专家参与率为30%（9/30）。成立了五个多学科小组，每个小组处理一个具体的保健问题。所有展示的项目都是应用程序：用于皮肤癌识别的聊天机器人，基于增强现实的治疗（例如，针对蜘蛛恐惧症），用于医疗社区连接的应用程序，医生预约平台，以及针对抑郁症患者的自我护理应用程序。病人和卫生保健专业人员发起了所有项目。黑客马拉松的举办促进了柏林数字健康社区的显著增长，随后又举办了更大规模的黑客马拉松。为进行经济高效的黑客马拉松提供系统性建议（n
Background: Until recently, developing health technologies was time-consuming and expensive, and often involved patients, doctors, and other health care professionals only as passive recipients of the end product. So far, users have been minimally involved in the ideation and creation stages of digital health technologies. In order to best address users' unmet needs, a transdisciplinary and user-led approach, involving cocreation and direct user feedback, is required. In this context, hackathon events have become increasingly popular in generating enthusiasm for user-centered innovation.Objective: This case study describes preparatory steps and the performance of a health hackathon directly involving patients and health care professionals at all stages. Feasibility and outcomes were assessed, leading to the development of systematic recommendations for future hackathons as a vehicle for bottom-up innovation in health care.Methods: A 2-day hackathon was conducted in February 2017 in Berlin, Germany. Data were collected through a field study. Collected field notes were subsequently discussed in 15 informal meetings among the research team. Experiences of conducting two further hackathons in December 2017 and November 2018 were included.Results: In total, 30 participants took part, with 63% (19/30) of participants between 25 and 34 years of age, 30% (9/30) between 35 and 44 years of age, and 7% (2/30) younger than 25 years of age. A total of 43% (13/30) of the participants were female. The participation rate of medical experts, including patients and health care professionals, was 30% (9/30). Five multidisciplinary teams were formed and each tackled a specific health care problem. All presented projects were apps: a chatbot for skin cancer recognition, an augmented reality exposure-based therapy (eg, for arachnophobia), an app for medical neighborhood connectivity, a doctor appointment platform, and a self-care app for people suffering from depression. Patients and health care professionals initiated all of the projects. Conducting the hackathon resulted in significant growth of the digital health community of Berlin and was followed up by larger hackathons. Systematic recommendations for conducting cost-efficient hackathons (n
