The healthcare industry is one of the most significant of all, making the existence of any country and its development possible. There are many actors in health care, including physicians, researchers, and laboratory technicians. However, there is one healthcare profession, the impact of which on the processes of care and recovery is constantly underestimated. Nursing specialists are frequently viewed as merely doctors’ assistants whose opinions should not be requested or taken into consideration when deciding on a treatment plan for a particular patient. Nurses are hardly ever invited to participate in research projects, although it is they who spend the most time at the bedside and who know patients’ needs better than anyone. Hence, it seems that the improvement of new technology implementation and saving costs can be promoted by increasing nurse involvement in research projects and medical technology hackathons. Medical Technology Hackathons and Research Projects: New Opportunities In order to gain successful innovation in health care, it is necessary for various stakeholders to cooperate. As Mantzavinou et al. (2018) note, these include healthcare professionals, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and end users. Health hackathons are events lasting for one-three days, the aim of which is to promote innovative technology (Mantzavinou et al., 2018). The word ‘hackathon’ is a blending of ‘hack’ and ‘marathon,’ meaning an innovative solution plus “an event of defined length and concentrated effort” (Olson et al., 2017, p. 37). Research indicates that the outcomes of hackathons are highly positive, including drafting business plans, conducting pilot tests, creating new companies, and raising funds for research (Olson et al., 2017). Due to the diversified teams, hackathons provide quick solutions to burning issues within a short period of time. Hackathon platforms commonly include the participation of specialists from various areas. However, in the majority of cases, nurses are not a part of them. While doctors closely cooperate with engineers and businessmen on developing innovative approaches to health care, the neglect of nurses considerably eliminates the success of such projects. The same concerns research projects: whereas their initiators take care to invite professionals with medical degrees, they do not pay due attention to the experience of nurses and their ability to give useful advice. The restricted involvement of nurses in research committees and medical hackathons leads to limitations in the innovation sphere. Meanwhile, Walker and Ko (2016) note that apart from “developers and business-savvy entrepreneurs,” it is crucial to invite healthcare specialists to such events (p. 98). Specifically, more prominence in this respect should be given to nurses. Whereas researchers and physicians pay effort to create innovative approaches to health care, none of them spend as much time looking after patients as nurses do. Hence, the exclusion of nurses leads to less effective outcomes and prevents new effective technology from being created.
