Deadline for COVID-19 Healthcare App Challenge extended to July 9th!
We are extending the submission deadline because we have received a lot of great sumbissions that we cannot currently consider because they don't use the IQVIA HealthCare Locator SDK in their projects as stated in the requirements. We hope that you will use this extra time to improve your projects and, if you have submitted already, resubmit any work that did not include the SDK!
You now have until Friday, July 9th @ 6 PM ET to submit your hackathon project on Devpost.
