Hacking Health Waterloo Virtual Cafe with Technology in Pharmacy Network

Have you ever wondered what life would be like without a fax machine? Probably not, because most industries today don't need or use them - except one. The fax is still a staple of current pharmacy communications even though everyone hates them. But that's not the only communications challenge when dealing with health care and patient confidentiality.

This cafe will support the upcoming HackRx event, a hackathon presented by the Technology in Pharmacy Network from April 30 to May 2nd. The theme for this virtual hackathon is Communications in Pharmacy, between pharmacist and doctor, and pharmacist and patient.
