Healthcare Heroes 3rd edition – October 20 and 21, 2023
Competition
Creating new ideas, models and technologies for tomorrow’s healthcare system
Preparation: The Challenges
On the first day of the Hackaton, four challenges related to the healthcare revolution will be presented. Once the pitches are done, you will need to join your preferred challenge, and thus, your team for this hackathon.
Be aware that space for a challenge is limited, so you may have to register elsewhere. But don’t worry, all the challenges will keep your mind working!
