Code to Care Challenge is a hackathon from Philips, aimed at generating ideas and solutions that ensure better health outcomes, improve patient experience and enhance healthcare staff satisfaction. Philips has always invested in the workforce of the future. With this hackathon, they aim to bring the best minds in India together, on a single platform and give the next generation ideas a chance to step forward.
Philips software developers don’t just work on code. They also work by an innate code of caring about and making life better for others.
