Subject of Challenge Competition
The Consumer Health Data Aggregator Challenge is intended to spur
development of third-party applications for consumers that use FHIR to
pull their health data into one place. The challenge has two phases.
Phase 1 requires the submission of technical and business plans for the
application (app) while Phase 2 requires that a working app be
available for consumers. Phase 2 of the competition will not be limited
to only those who won Phase 1--all Phase 1 competitors, and those who
did not participate in Phase 1, can submit a final app at the end of
Phase 2.
The final application must meet the following requirements:
Uses FHIR Draft Standard for Technical Use 2 (DSTU2).
Aggregate all data as specified in the 2015 Edition Common
Clinical Data Set (Data column in https://www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/commonclinicaldataset_ml_11-4-15.pdf).
Verified compatibility with different health IT developer
systems implemented in production settings, 1 of which must be from the
top 10 systems measured by Meaningful Use attestation per HealthIT.gov.
Apps must be integrated with a minimum of 3 unique health IT developer
systems in 2 unique provider settings.
Has been tested with patients and used in production
settings.
Available to consumers through at least one of the
following modes: mobile Web, iOS Store, or Android Store.
Phase 1
Participants interested in competing for Phase 1 awards will need
to submit an app development plan that must include:
Mockup/wireframes
Technical specifications, including but not limited to planned
data sources, system architecture
Business/sustainability plan
Provider partnership
To augment technical development and enhance the likelihood of a
successful app that will continue to exist beyond the end of the
challenge, a progress update/matchmaking event will be held that will
seek to connect participants with provider partners. Up to five app
proposals will be recognized as winners and awarded up to $15,000 each.
Phase 2
The second phase will entail the actual development of the apps,
verification of technical capabilities, user testing/piloting, and
public release of the apps. This will include remote testing with
providers and health IT developers to test the technical abilities of
the apps to connect to in-production systems. Participants will submit:
Working prototype of the app
Video demonstrating the app (maximum of 5 minutes, on YouTube
or Vimeo)
Slide deck describing app (maximum of 10 slides)
The grand prize winner will receive $50,000 and a second place
winner will receive $25,000. There will be an additional $25,000 prize
for the app that connects to the greatest number of unique health IT
developer systems implemented in production settings, which can be won
by the grand or 2nd place winner.
