The current anti-drug hackathon gathered experts to brainstorm and apply the open
databases of the government and big data with the inclusion of people’s enthusiasm and creativity
so that they could jointly come up with anti-drug technological and digital services in different
forms, such as the Internet, APP, software and games. The Allies Day occurred in the afternoon
of May 13, 2017, to clarify on the open data of the government available for the campaign and to
invite non-governmental organizations to share their experience in drug rehabilitation and their
experiences in fighting against illicit drugs. Then, on May 27 and 28, 2017, the two-day marathon-
like collaboration began. Within limited time and space, contestants from different fields
utilized anti-drug datasets and related anti-drug website resources from respective ministries and

departments and developed three innovative and practical cases on the theme “prevention against
illicit drugs,” including “Anti-drug Data Integration Platform,” “Illicit Drug Identification,” and
“Management of Discovered Drug Abusers.”
