Mynaportal Hackathons

The Digital Agency Hackathon was held from Thursday, June 8 to Monday, June 12, 2023. It was the first Mynaportal Hackathon to be held in development to expand services using information available in Mynaportal.

For details of the five days of the Hackathon, please check the Hackathon Status , and for the works of each team that passed the first screening and participated in the Hackathon program, please check the Hackathon Works Introduction .

Purpose of the Hackathon

Regarding information that can be obtained using Mynaportal, it is expected that new value will be created not only by browsing the information but also by combining the information with the information held by private sector, etc. Therefore, Digital Agency provides functions (Mynaportal) to make more convenient services using health management, such as Mynaportal Information App and Disability Handbook App, by utilizing the information on users that can be obtained using APIs for Mynaportal.

By holding the Mynaportal Hackathon, we aim to connect new services to development by all people, including Hackathon participants, and to improve the lives of the people.

Status

Eighteen teams participated in the hackathon program for five days, from Thursday, June 8 to Monday, June 12.
On the first day, there was a panel discussion by Sota Mizushima (CPO, Digital Agency) and Masaki Fujimoto (CTO, Digital Agency), on the second day, there was a consultation on ideas by three companies that actually use API cooperation, and on the third and fourth days, there was a brush up on ideas through group work by the participants and a practice of presentation for the presentation.

On the final day, a presentation was held in which each team made a presentation of 2 minutes and 30 seconds per team, and a judging committee and an award ceremony were held.
Many of the works presented were proposals in the fields of health and medical care, which are currently used as services utilizing APIs for Mynaportal, but there were also proposals in fields where there are few or no services currently provided, such as childcare support, disaster risk management, and tourism.
