European Healthcare Hackathon 2023

Ever thought of merging the techy side of a hackathon with the life-saving realm of healthcare? Well, the European Healthcare Hackathon 2023 (EHH) is doing just that. And trust me, it's not your typical "let's code and grab some pizza" event. It's where real-world medical challenges meet the genius minds of hackers, students, and professionals.

The EHH 2023 is not just another event on your calendar. It's an international hackathon that's taking on some of the most pressing healthcare challenges of today. From diabetology to transplantology, this event is all about bringing together diverse minds to brainstorm, innovate, and create groundbreaking solutions.

• Dates: 24-26 November 2023
• Mode: Online and Offline (for the brave souls who'd like to experience the action up close in Prague)
• Prizes: Oh boy, they're not playing around. With a whopping EUR 3,000 for the 1st place, EUR 2,000 for the 2nd, and EUR 1,000 for the 3rd, it's not just about the glory; it's also about the green!

The challenges are diverse, ranging from creating applications for diabetic patients to monitor their health, to building algorithms that detect anomalies in patient activity data. There's also a focus on patient education, data analysis, and even a challenge that revolves around the FHIR medical data standard.

Apart from the cash prizes mentioned, there are partner prizes up for grabs. And let's be real, in the world of hackathons, recognition can sometimes be more valuable than cash. Getting your solution acknowledged by industry giants? That's a resume booster right there!

The hackathon kicks off on 24th November with an opening ceremony. The hacking starts post-lunch, so make sure you're fueled up. The next day is all about continuous hacking, workshops, and seminars. And on the final day, it's D-Day. Submission of hacks, evaluation, and the much-awaited winner announcement ceremony.

If you're a college student or a professional with a knack for innovation, you're in! Whether you're an individual or part of a 3-member team, there's a spot for you.

EHH, the brains behind this event, is not new to the game. They've been organizing hackathons that focus on real-world healthcare challenges, bringing together hackers, students, entrepreneurs, and industry experts. Their goal? Simple. Create new ideas and technologies that can revolutionize areas like diabetology, surgery, and patient care.
