Submission Categories

When you submit your entry, you’ll be asked to pick which prize category you’d like to enter. Although your entry may fit into more than one category, we ask that you please submit to only one category. IF your app was pre-existing (meaning it was built before this competition began) and you integrated OpenShift during the competition, you must submit to the Pre-Existing Health-related Application Migrated to OpenShift category.

The categories are:

  • Wearable/Home Automation Applications: Includes health-related applications that integrate with fitness trackers, smart watches, GPS devices, light / temperature control, home security, energy optimization, or other connected devices.
  • Games: Includes health-related applications that gamify or entertain and educate users about their health.
  • Wildcard/General Health Applications: Includes any social, SaaS or enterprise application meant to help users, or enterprises, keep themselves and their employees healthy. Applications might include sharing of health stats, encouraging weight loss, social health applications, etc.
  • Pre-Existing Health-related Application Migrated to OpenShift: Includes any health related app that existed prior to the submission period. If your app existed prior to this date, you must submit to this category – even if you meet the requirements for other categories.
