HealthCamp is an unconference inspired by the popular BarCamp conferences, which are intended to allow people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees.
HealthCamp content is focused on improving or extending the efficacy of health care by embracing social networks, open standards, and the latest web and mobile technologies. Some HealthCamps have tried to explicitly embrace existing and traditional health contexts, such as primary care physicians, hospitals, state sponsored health programs, and the employer/health insurer model in an effort to stimulate innovation and change in these industries.
