Out-Of-Pocket's Healthcare AI
Hackathon
San Francisco, 5/16 - 5/18
Apply by 2/20
We’ve been experimenting with events to help operators in healthcare build better, like Knowledgefest, podcast and dinners. Last year we did a hackathon and it was a huge hit, so we're bringing it back.
Want to play with new AI tools? Interested in experimenting with healthcare ideas? The hackathon is the place to test out that weird healthcare idea you’ve been thinking about, meet cool people, and become an energy drink sommelier.

join us for the second oop hackathon
We think hackathons are fun and underrated. It’s one of the few spaces that lets you tap back into that late-night college manic energy we don’t get enough of… and a chance to build without any meetings.
Also…generative AI! People won’t shut up about it so we need to do something so they stop bothering us! We want to see if generative AI tools can solve your problems or give you new ideas you didn't think were possible. We know that some of you haven’t had a chance to pick your head up and see what’s even possible with these new tools.

We’re giving you the opportunity to dream unencumbered using some of the generative AI tools and healthcare experts we have available.
It’s going to be on 5/16 - 5/18 in SF.
the details
You bring the team, problem, and PHI-free data. We bring the food, space, vibes and advisors to help you during the weekend.
We think it’ll be fun, a bit chaotic and really valuable.

the process
Apply
Apply as a team: Teams will apply to get in (< 4 people per team). We recommend 1 engineer, 1 product, and 1 ops (although you can decide who’s the right mix).
Get Matched
If you want to join but don’t have a team, you should still apply! We will do our best to match you with others.
We Pick Teams
We’re capping the event to 10 teams.
You Hack
Friday 5/16 is an ideation session and dinner. Saturday 5/17 is the marathon and Sunday 5/18 ends in the late afternoon with a demo day. The schedule will be released closer to the event.
Lodging
Lodging is your responsibility, but sleeping bags are encouraged (jk).
We’ll be releasing more details later, but if you’re interested in either building or attending the final demos please fill out this short application by February 20 2025. Teams will be notified if they get in early March, and we’ll send details to attendees later.
There is no cost to you. Our only ask is that you wear deodorant and come with a problem big enough for 2 days of work.
Last year was an absolute blast and we think it’s going to be even better this time around - mostly because we know what we’re doing now lol.

I want to Attend
I'm scared of building and I just want to watch greatness, not participate in it. I'm probably an aspiring VC (jk we love our VC friends).This time I just want to see what other people are doing and get inspired, but maybe next time I'll participate!
I want to Build
"It's time to build" - I heard the rallying cry and I'm ready. There's an idea that's been bugging me that I think could be really cool but I just need some time to actually get it done.
Maybe I have a team or maybe I'm looking for someone, but I'm ready to be in an office and grind it out.

I want to Sponsor
I am a generative AI startup that raised a little too much money and need places to deploy it that isn't another newsletter. Email danielle@outofpocket.health if that sounds like you.

Frequently Asked Questions
** Where will this be in SF? **
The hackathon will be hosted at WeFunder. Stay tuned for additional details about the exact address and event logistics as the date approaches!
** Does it cost money? **
As an attendee it's both free to apply and attend. All hail the sponsorship-driven event model.
** What kinds of projects would be good fits? **
Really you want us to write your application for you? Some inspiration:
- Think about all the random, text-based tasks you've had to do repetitively at every company you've been at
- If you could make a new image or video at the snap of your fingers, what does that enable?
- Find a patient or physician journey, is there something these new tools enable?
- Where are there a lot of phone calls? If you could robocall, what would you use it for?
- Look at some AI product demos outside of healthcare to inspire you

** How does the matching process work? **
Jeez you have a lot of questions don't you. We're giving preferences to teams that apply, but if you apply solo then we'll try to match you based on complementary skillset but similar ideas. We'll ask if you'd be open to matching with the person we think makes sense, and then if you both agree we'll connect you.
** What's the actual schedule of events? **
Just trust us bro.
