Mi (More Independent) is a Technology Strategy Board 'dallas' (delivering assisted living lifestyles at scale) programme designed to help people take charge of their health and wellbeing.
This will be achieved through the development of an 'app ecosystem' that provides Mi users with a series of joined-up applications to support them in the management of their lifestyle.
Underpinning this ecosystem is a platform with a series of open APIs that will allow app developers to integrate their offerings with the platform, achieve data exchange with other apps, and provide the user with a rich and useful experience.
Lead Mi contractor, Sitekit, is running a hackathon to enable app developers to code against the platform, learn more about the Mi programme, and find out how they can promote their app offerings in the marketplace. The agenda for the day will be fluid, but include:
- Project overview
- Deep dive into API services
- Coding
- Presentations to the group
- Feedback and next steps
