About this Event

MIND Digital Mental Health Hackathon

Get ready to dive into the world of digital mental health at the MIND Digital Mental Health Hackathon!

The MIND Lab, run by Dr Mel McKendrick, is hosting a digital mental health themed hackathon. The event is designed to raise awareness of global mental health challenges and highlight how digital technologies can offer innovative, real-world solutions.

It will bring together HWU researchers from any discipline and individuals with lived experience from the community for a full-day programme that begins with an introduction to the current digital mental health research landscape, followed by a co-design session where research teams collaborate with individuals with lived experience to identify priority challenges. If you are a researcher with an interest in mental health and are curious about how digital tools might support your research, this is an event for you!
