ARTICLE Hackathon as a way to raise awareness and foster innovation for stroke Hackathon como uma maneira de aumentar a conscientização e promover a inovação no AVCThe World Stroke Campaign is a global effort to bring awareness about the burden of stroke, with activities scheduled annually on October 29th 1 . The campaign often has relied on traditional educational approaches, including lectures and media engagement. More creative approaches to attract attention have also been tried, such as celebrity endorsement, running/walking events, soccer events, musical concerts, and car races. Every year, the movement generates more attention worldwide, and the Brazilian Stroke Network 2 demonstrates this progress clearly.Campaigns are mostly carried out by professionals from the academy, which have attracted students to the cause. Student involvement creates an opportunity to educate future professionals, who will influence their future work and civic environments and generate ongoing momentum. Yet while the number of student associations participating has increased over the years, most are focused on health science. Ideally, other students would also be involved, because increasingly the model for addressing health issues is based on a multidisciplinary approach.We are overwhelmed with advanced technology, gadgets and mobile apps today, with countless possibilities for their applications in the health industry, from nanotechnology to semiconductors to Cloud technologies. In this fast-paced technological environment, high-tech companies and more recently science organizations have sought to develop AbstrACtThe 'Time is Brain" concept has been a major focus in the World Stroke Awareness Campaign. Objective: We describe our experience with a Hackathon (junction of hack+marathon), a 24 hour event of innovation-and technology-based project development, focused around detecting stroke. Method: The Hackathon was held during a Brazilian Student's union (BRASA) congress involving students from engineering and other technological disciplines. Results: Four teamscompleted the 24-hour challenge; two teams opted the stroke challenge. One team proposed improving detection using a mobile sensor Fit-Bit combined with a smart-phone to contact emergency dispatch. The other team developed a game, in which kids would play a role as a neurologist; to diagnosis stroke with objective to increase awareness. Conclusion: Hackathons can focus attention on innovation and improvement opportunities to support the World Stroke Campaign, as well as other campaigns to raise awareness for other health or social problems.Keywords: stroke, innovation, hackathon, awareness campaign.resumo O conceito 'Tempo é Cérebro "tem sido um grande foco na Campanha Mundial de conscientização sobre AVC.

Mobile health is one of the most important electronic health services which use portable, smart devices, such as the mobile phone. With a very high rate of accessibility and a relatively low cost, this type of electronic health service can be used to offer health services to people anywhere, at any time. The main objective of the current study is to introduce the mobile health as a new service for promotion of self-care in the society. The study will continue to focus on numerous medical applications of mobile phone, particularly as an efficient and cost-effective modern device for self-care.
