SUMMARY:A2H2 Weekend: Removing Barriers to Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:A2H2 is a healthcare hackathon in Ann Arbor addressing challenges to health around the world and providing participants a forum to develop solutions and scale their ideas. This year’s topic is Removing Barriers to Healthcare.   \nWhy are barriers an issue? Health improves the condition of the human body. There have been developments in healthcare\, but people around the world who would benefit from them have trouble connecting with these solutions. Barriers can mean not getting the healthcare you need\, getting that care too late\, or even not getting follow-up to maintain health. This includes\, but is not limited to: \n\naffordability\nphysical access\ntransportation\nlack of quality care\nlimited supplies\ninability to leave work\nimproper preventive care\nlack of care professionals\n\nThe event takes place June 23 to June 25 on The University of Michigan campus. Over the course of these days participants form cross-functional teams to collaborate and compete for prizes\, developing a minimum viable product or prototype to bring down a barrier in health. \nSchedule\nFriday\, June 23\n6:00 – 8:00 P.M.

Dr. Hollister and his collaborators have designed and developed a variety of medical devices utilizing 3D printing\, an area in which he has worked for 18 years\, publishing his first paper in 1997. His general research focuses on the design\, fabrication and evaluation of biomaterial platform systems for tissue reconstruction. He is a fellow of the American Institute of Biological Engineering. His work on a bioresorbable tracheal splint along with Dr. Glenn Green was given a Popular Mechanics 2013 Breakthrough Innovation Award. This implantation of this 3D printed device to save the lives of two children has been featured on the Today Show\, USA Today\, NPR\, Time magazine\, Nature\, Science\, and Popular Mechanics among other media. \n Alexander Plum\nAlexander Plum\, MPH\, CHES is responsible for leading Henry Ford Health System’s global healthcare delivery “reverse-innovation” portfolio. Alex identifies and adapts promising solutions from the field of global health and partners with non-profits\, universities\, faith communities\, and other health care systems in Detroit and regionally to implement and evaluate these “global-to-local” interventions. In Detroit\, his research and health programs explore how structural and socio-environmental factors impact the health of Detroiters living on the margins\, specifically the elderly\, homeless\, LGBTQ young people\, those with mental illness\, and those impacted by government-imposed water shutoffs. He is an investigator on global studies and interventions to reduce antimicrobial resistance (Micronesia\, Nepal\, India\, and Detroit)\, promote vaccines (Haiti and Detroit)\, and research the intersection of gender\, religion\, and health outcomes (Kenya\, Haiti\, Atlanta\, and Detroit).
