On average 1 in 6 people suffer the effects of depression. And its not something that can be cured or vaccinated against.
For those that suffer its a matter of when not if, so we will provide them the tools to recognise the signs and manage themselves to alleviate the symptoms.
To do this we will analyse a users mental state using integrations with social media, email, sms, purchase history and music streaming.

BattleHacks are full of 24+ hours of awesome stuff. In general, on Day 1 registration opens, you arrive, scope and share skills, create teams, meet judges, and then our gong hits and hacking begins. Add gourmet food, food and more food. Hack through the night, or grab a nap, beer break, and maybe even a massage or two. On Day 2, we have rehearsals, more food, and hack till you hear our gong, signaling the end of hacking! Teams present their apps, judging occurs and prizes are awarded.
Check your BattleHack City’s registration page for specific timeline details.
