When children are dying under the age of one, the world takes notice. Infant mortality in the US is on the rise — and is impacting underserved communities and people of color more than anyone else. Our nation needs solutions from developers who can help reduce infant mortality through innovative use of technology.

The HIMSS Developer Challenge: Seeking Tech Solutions to Address Infant Mortality, is a 2-month challenge collaborating with OurHealthyCommunity.com (OHC), a web-based ecosystem focused on underserved community outreach and engagement failure points. Over the course of our challenge, we’re giving developers direct access to this online group of underserved community members, community health workers, and others in allied services. We encourage you to ask questions, gain clarity and refine your thinking to assure that submissions for this challenge truly reflect the needs of our stakeholders. Access to OHC will help you meet the challenge to develop technology that improves birth outcomes and reduces infant mortality rates.
