Health Innovathon November 21-22
24. September 2024
Join us from November 21st to 22nd for a two-day Innovathon at the Digital Society Initiative of the University of Zurich. During this event students, DSI Community Health members, and health experts will join forces to tackle real-world challenges in the realm of healthcare. Over two dynamic days, participants will collaborate intensively, crafting innovative solutions that address practical problems identified within the DSI Community Health.
With insights from keynote speakers and guidance from mentors, attendees will work on real-world challenges in the field of digital health. The event will culminate in a pitch session where projects will be evaluated by a jury panel, with opportunities for participating teams to be supervised further by one of the jury members.
Participants are expected to commit their time on November 21st and 22nd from 09:00-20:00 to the Innovathon, and are not required to have computer science skills. Groups will be assembled to have a good mixture of skills to foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Participants will be awarded certificates, and the winning teams will receive a prize of up to CHF 500.
