 Throughout October 27th - 30th I took part in the Grand Nordic Health Hackathon, which is an event where solutions are created through rapid prototyping and innovation in a short span of time. At the Nordic Health hackathon the focus is to create innovative digital solutions, i.e. something digital that improves the health and quality of life for everyday people 🌳

I grouped up with my good friend Indrit Kello, who is a Senior Software Developer and we innovated a digital solution called “Symptogram” 🔍

Symtogram is a clinical decision support tool that keeps track of user symptoms and saves time for family doctors by providing them with an intelligent report prior to the online consultation 👩‍⚕️

When the Hackathon kicked off, we had a pre hack informational webinar, where we got introduced to the case, the judges and what was expected to be delivered before the deadline. We also got assigned to a mentor, which would help us with our idea and answer any questions we would have 👨‍🏫

We had already, before the event began, went through a brainstorm 🧠 and created a set of wireframes so we wouldn’t spend any necessary time on this, since time was a crucial factor for us.

We decided that it would be a good idea that we setup a bootcamp 🏕, to decrease time spend on communication back and forth, so we spend the next couple of days at my place so we had more time being productive.

Throughout the bootcamp we managed to create the application from concept to business model to MVP and some of the technologies we used was Expo that would run our application in iOS, React native, which is the framework that the application would run on and firebase 🔥, which is Google’s mobile application platform that would handle the data structure. The UI/UX elements was created with Adobe XD and illustrator.

We delivered a 3 minute video pitch 📹, that showcased the consumer and how Symtogram works. A one pager, which had all the necessary information about the solution 📃

We managed to get a 2nd place in the hackathon 🥈

The hackathon was a good experience to see how much you can actually develop in a short amount of time and we are very happy with the outcome of our solution but there are still plenty of things we can keep working on in the future 🔮

I would like to give a special thanks to the people who supported us, especially Nettmaker which allowed me to be a part of this 👏

Grand Nordic Health Hackathon

Since the beginning of 2019, when I was working as an freelance web developer for a few local companies I figured that I had to do something else with my education and experience. Ever since I finished my bachelor in digital concept development I have been in several internships, in small startups, without finding a workspace that I could develop and explore new technologies. I felt that most places didn’t push me in the right direction and I never got the chance to push my skills as an developer.

This is where AIESEC comes into the picture. I got recommended that I should create a profile on their platform to understand what they could help me with, by getting in contact with companies around the world and possible connect and get the opportunity to become an intern.

I was at a point, where I had to do something else and try new opportunities, so I decided to apply to two internship opportunities. The first I applied to, was to become a frontend developer in Belo Horizonte, Brazil 🇧🇷. I got contacted, interviewed and received information about the city and the company. Throughout the process I became really excited but it ended not many days my interview since they had to describe a crucially part in their opportunity, they were looking for an student, which I wasn’t anymore.

My hope for an internship abroad was still a live, maybe not as far abroad as South America but in my neighbour country, Norway 🇳🇴.

This time it wasn’t enough with just an introduction, I had to prove my skills as a developer. I had 3 days to develop a website with a design from the company.

I was told that I became one of the finalist and after a interview and code review with the leader of development, we discussed my project, which wasn’t flawless but I guess he saw potential in my work, which for my excitement, granted me a 6 month internship in Nettmaker that is based in Oslo.

I got all the help I needed throughout the process from my experience manager in Denmark, Marta, which believed in me and not just saw me as another candidate.

26 of April I packed my belongings and traveled to Oslo, I arrived a few days early so I had time to explore the city before I would start the internship the 1st of May. The norwegian division of AIESEC help me get settled with accommodation and took me to the police station to complete the process of my move, even though I had it easy since I am a part of Scandinavia.

I met most of the team from the Norwegian division the 17 of May, which is the national day for Norway, and got to meet a lot of other interns from different company. Throughout the summer, AIESEC hosted a few events. When AIESEC rotated their division after the summer vacation we lost touch. We got introduced to the new manager but that was the last time I heard anything from the organisation. As my internship came to an end, this was not the departure for me. Nettmaker saw potential in me and ask if I wanted to stay, which I wanted.

My overall impression with the organisation is great and I will definitely recommend them to my friends. They are very informative and helpful throughout the period I was an intern and I would like to thank, Marta, the Norwegian AIESEC division for making this possible.
