CO-CREATED WITH THE HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM

Themes and challenges for Hack Healthcare have been identified in collaboration with of over 50 healthcare professionals, patients, representatives of pharmaceutical and insurance companies, startups and researchers.

SOLVING PROBLEMS AS AN ECOSYSTEM

Some problems are just too large for any one company to solve. They require an entirely new way for stakeholders to interact, a new business model, or a completely different set of technologies. The hardest ones will require combined resources of several companies.

Others can be solved just by having an open conversation between the stakeholders, or by applying a fresh perspective to old problems.

That’s why we make sure that the entire healthcare ecosystem is represented at Hack Healthcare, that the atmosphere of the event supports open and frank conversations, as well as creates the trust necessary to build the collaborations necessary to solve the most pressing issues in Healthcare.

powerful experience,

in person or online

After a year of running online events – from ideation workshops to full-scale hackathons – we’re convinced that online events do not provide the same level of human connection and collaborative creativity necessary for a successful innovation experience.

But they can come pretty close.

While we hope that Hack Healthcare 2021 will take place in person, we’re also preparing for a fully online experience.
