Physicians and innovators from across the United States gathered in Philadelphia for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) Scientific Assembly in early October, where they had the opportunity to participate in an innovative healthcare event known as HackED. “HackED”, a combined innovation challenge and hackathon event, was developed in partnership with ACEP, the Emergency Medicine Innovation Collaborative (EMIC), and Stanford University's StEMI X. Its primary aim is to empower physicians to become primary agents of change within their speciality, foster collaboration between physicians and technology industry leaders, as well as encourage multidisciplinary solutions to pressing healthcare issues.
