Hackathons and innovation calls compress months of exploration into days. Teams form around a clearly defined healthcare challenge and work toward a demonstrable solution.
The most valuable outcome is often not the prototype itself but the connections made between people with different skills.
Participants get early exposure to mentors and evaluators, and promising ideas can move into pre-incubation or incubation programmes.
If you are considering taking part, read the problem statement carefully and bring people with complementary skills to your team.
