Join the premier health tech hackathon organised by NUS Medicine, where healthcare meets innovative thinking and cutting-edge technology. Back for a second year, here's your chance to make a real-world impact using accessible digital tools, where anyone can contribute—whether you're a seasoned developer or a first-time innovator.
The future is waiting—become a trailblazer in the movement towards smarter digital healthcare.
With ageing populations on the rise amidst the call for more proactive health management, technological advances are paving the way for modern healthcare delivery. Whether it's AI, wearables, or telemedicine, harness the power of industry, academia and technology to bring your innovative ideas to life. This year, we're tackling two core themes:
Value-based healthcare shifts the focus from the volume of services provided to the value of care delivered, with a strong emphasis on improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. This transformation presents a unique opportunity for technology to play a crucial role in making healthcare more efficient and patient-centred. Digital health tools, data analytics, and AI can enhance decision-making, patient monitoring, and cost management, but there remains significant challenges in ensuring that these innovations deliver real value to patients and providers.
As populations around the world age rapidly, ensuring that seniors live healthy, independent, and fulfilling lives has become a top priority. This presents a business opportunity for the development of tech solutions that address the unique needs of the elderly, ranging from healthcare and safety to social interaction and financial well-being. Businesses can capitalise on the growing demand for solutions that promote healthy aging, optimise care management, and reduce the burden on healthcare systems, all while empowering the elderly to live independently.

SGD20,000 in prize rewards! Monetary prizes are awarded
to the
top three teams for each theme.
