Join us on a transformative journey at our DSI Health Innovathon, where students, DSI Health community members, and USZ experts join forces to tackle real-world challenges in the realm of healthcare. Over two to three dynamic days, participants will collaborate intensively, crafting innovative solutions that address practical problems identified within our community and the USZ.

This project is about organizing a innovathon to bring together interested students, members of the DSI Health community, and experts in the USZ. This innovathon is planned to last two to three days, and participants will work on solving practical problems from the health community members and experts from the USZ with the goal of creating solution prototypes. These prototypes can then act as demonstrators, could be evaluated as part of a study, or could be used as inspiration or base for continued work on the topic. In addition to the prototypes, students will be invited to stay connected with the community members and experts to continue their collaboration in the form of bachelor and master theses, master projects, or publications.
