黑客松是激烈、短暂、协作的活动，重点是通过跨学科团队解决真实的世界问题。这是一份由孔敬大学主办的mHealth黑客活动报告，该活动与麻省理工学院萨那分校和哈佛医学院的教职员工合作，旨在改善泰国东北部地区的医疗保健服务。利用移动保健解决了关键的保健挑战，如提高人口保健知识、跟踪农村社区的疾病轨迹和结果，以及支持负担过重的一线提供者的工作流程。为了使活动适应当地的环境和文化，对黑客活动的通常形式进行了许多修改，例如招募参与者的过程以及如何匹配和组建团队。这些修改可以作为举办未来黑客松的良好学习点。在如何克服文化障碍实现富有成效的合作、如何最好地为参与者提供指导、如何向参与者灌输使命感以及如何以公平和有效的方式匹配参与者方面，也吸取了许多经验教训。该活动展示了跨学科合作如何产生任何学科都无法单独实现的结果，并表明创新是来自不同专业领域的人们朝着同一目标共同努力的集体智慧的成果。
Hackathons are intense, short, collaborative events focusing on solving real world problems through interdisciplinary teams. This is a report of the mHealth hackathon hosted by Khon Kaen University in collaboration with MIT Sana and faculty members from Harvard Medical School with the aim to improve health care delivery in the Northeast region of Thailand. Key health challenges, such as improving population health literacy, tracking disease trajectory and outcomes among rural communities, and supporting the workflow of overburdened frontline providers, were addressed using mHealth. Many modifications from the usual format of hackathon were made to tailor the event to the local context and culture, such as the process of recruiting participants and how teams were matched and formed. These modifications serve as good learning points for hosting future hackathons. There are also many lessons learned about how to achieve a fruitful collaboration despite cultural barriers, how to best provide mentorship to the participants, how to instill in the participants a sense of mission, and how to match the participants in a fair and efficient manner. This event showcases how interdisciplinary collaboration can produce results that are unattainable by any discipline alone and demonstrates that innovations are the fruits of collective wisdom of people from different fields of expertise who work together toward the same goals.
