Healthy code, healthy lives: build apps for better health with OpenShift.
In June, we announced the release of OpenShift Online (Next Generation) and our hackathon, Code Healthy with OpenShift on Devpost. We asked participants to build an application to help people manage their health. They could build any app that would make a healthy impact in the lives of others, as long as they used OpenShift Online (Next Gen) as their platform.
We had 4 submission categories and a team of 4 judges who critiqued submissions based on usefulness, innovation, quality, design, and use of the OpenShift platform. With 600 participants and 38 submissions, we had so many awesome apps to consider. Below are the winning entries from each category in the hackathon.
Best Wearable/Home Automation Application: Hazel
Hazel builds a virtual connection between individuals suffering from dementia and their caregivers. Individuals with dementia send their activities and status of their environment to their caregiver. Caregivers send event schedules and medicine reminders to the individuals with dementia. This way, the caregiver can unobtrusively monitor their loved one, interfering only when absolutely necessary.

Best Pre-Existing Health App Migrated to OpenShift: Grindbit
Grindbit uses an EMG sensor at the temple area, which is able to detect the muscle movements of biting. A separate gyroscope measures the user’s sleep position. The user can charge Grindbit’s battery during the day, and charge their phone’s battery at night, this way they never have to worry about a wearable that’s constantly out of battery these days. Also, one can analyze data reflecting nightly grinding and clenching patterns while under treatments such as acupuncture, stress relief (yoga, for example) intake of various herbs, and different exercise and diet regimens. The user can then easily correlate the data recorded with one treatment to that of another to compare and contrast the degrees of effectiveness of different treatments.
