Can technology and data science

improve healthcare experience?

 

Healthcare is a universal basic need. Yet, it's costly and not universally accessible. 

Can we make healthcare more affordable?

By creating more affordable diagnosis and preventative measures? Our smart devices are collecting more data than ever before. Can we combine Big Data with personal devices for smarter, more personalized tracking?

Can we make it safer and less error prone?

20% of patients admitted to the hospital will be re-admitted within 30 days. Why is readmmission rate so high? Can we leverage technology to reduce human errors as we have done in other fields?

Can we make it more accessible to everyone?

Including under-served segments, such as the homeless, elderly and low-income segments

Clear your calendar - It's going down! Ferris kicks off on March 16th, and you're invited to take part in the festivities. Roberta's (261 Moore Street) is our meeting spot for a night of fun and excitement.

We're a non-profit coding academy, dedicated to making high-quality tech education accessible to everyone, especially women and minorities. That's why our classes are only $25/session. The average cost for each student to get fully trained for an engineering role is $350-500. 


If you've met our students or alumni (most of whom are at Microsoft), you'll see that we don't sacrifice quality for affordability. Kal Academy was started by tech industry veterans, with 20 years of experience in software development, data science, and engineering management.


In the past six months, we've tripled the number of our active students. Want to help us bring tech education to even more people? Explore ways to partner on kalacademy.org.
