Win $55,000 and help fix the American healthcare system
We are thrilled to launch the $55,000 Canvas FHIR® API Prize. For a period of three months between 10/9/23 and 1/9/24, developers from across the world will compete for $55,000 in prize money to develop a patient-facing mobile app.
We want you to help build a better patient experience for accessing healthcare services.
Imagine if every time you wanted to access care it was this easy.
Use the Canvas FHIR API to build a patient experience just like this.

Developers competing for the API Prize will use Canvas FHIR APIs for persistent data storage and retrieval. Canvas will evaluate submissions based on the criteria outlined in the Contest Rules, and we will then contribute the source code for the winning application to the community under an Open Source Initiative-approved license. Between the open source license and use of standardized FHIR APIs, the broader community will be able to adapt and integrate the winning application with any FHIR-based service, including other EMRs.
Canvas has been an implementer of the FHIR standard since 2015, and we have contributed a number of open source code bases to the community, including the popular FHIRStarter framework for FHIR servers. In running the API Prize, we're doubling down on our commitments to informatics, interoperability, and the broader healthtech community. If those are commitments you can get behind, sign up for the API Prize now!
