Hackathon
for healthcare innovators
Hack Healthcare is a transformative 2-day event where your organization can explore far-out ideas, connect with potential business partners, and draw inspiration from the collective knowledge of the entire healthcare ecosystem.
Radical experimentation
in a fast-evolving world
While digital transformation is navigating the healthcare ecosystem, innovators in pharma, hospitals, IT companies, and governments find themselves navigating the unknown.
In a volatile, uncertain, and complex world, Hack Healthcare is an open, public “sandbox” where innovators come together to shape the future. It brings the entire ecosystem together to accelerate paradigm shifts and to collaborate on real projects that will solve the most pressing issues in healthcare.
THEMES OF
HACK HEALTHCARE 2024
Which are the priority areas of focus in the health sector?
For each edition of Hack Healthcare, we identify 4 broad themes together with our community. Event partners contribute concrete challenges to “hack” at the event, and our community validates and improves those challenges.
