Internal Hackathon: How to manage the vaccination of millions of people

At OWT, we foster entrepreneurship and cultivate a collaborative environment that encourages us to push beyond our limits. This is also true in the new year as we hosted an internal hackathon in January.

The Challenge

We chose a challenge that could not be more current.

1. Build a web platform to enable vaccination of more than 6 million people.

   1. Design a web platform where people can sign up and register to be vaccinated.

   2. With this data, the potential client organization should be able to triage registered people, starting with those most at risk.

   3. The platform should inform the registered persons about time, date, and process of vaccination.

2. Development of a digital vaccination passport.

   1. Ideally, people who have been vaccinated should be able to provide a digital proof of vaccination (e.g., to enter a risk area like a hospital, board a plane).
