This year, Ohio State's Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) will be hosting its 5th annual Bio-Hack, a weekend-long hackathon full of engineering, learning, networking, and innovation. 

The theme for this year's Bio-Hack focuses on patient safety within the healthcare sector. Over 200,000 patients die due to medical error per year, we challenge participants to devise innovative solutions that address system improvements and effective protocols to foster a healthcare environment that values patient safety.

  Bio-Hack gives engineers and clinicians a unique, experiential learning opportunity to build and engineer health technologies.
