About This Event

Here's the hackathon you'll still be talking about next year. We certainly have been (because we're still organising it).

MYMI & MLAI bring to you the 6th edition of the much-loved MedHack event!

MEDHACK: FRONTIERS brings clinicians, builders and optimists into the same room for one intense weekend of problem-solving.

You'll join doctors, nurses, data scientists and students to prototype real solutions to real healthcare bottlenecks; then pitch them to leaders across health, tech and venture. Past editions were oversubscribed, drew hundreds in-room, reached tens of thousands online, and turned standout teams into ongoing collaborations.

What you'll do: Team Formation Night on Sun 15 Feb from 5-8pm to form a team of 2-6 people and pick a challenge track that matches your skills.

Hackathon Weekend runs Sat 21 Feb 11:00 - 20:30 and Sun 22 Feb 8:30 - 19:30.

Small Tract: Build an AI that monitors simulated ward vitals and flags risk early; perfect for first-timers or clinicians new to ML.

Big Tract: Work hands-on with de-identified EMR data and industry mentors to tackle high-impact problems from the front lines. Find your problem, break it apart, build your solution and pitch!

Why join: Build something that matters and ship a working prototype with clinical feedback on tap.

Meet your next co-founder, CTO or first hire: our community spans 15,000+ across AI and healthcare - and our events consistently sell out.

Get seen: finalist teams pitch at a packed showcase night to judges, investors and partners, with professional photos, video snippets and ongoing intros baked in.

Level up fast: mentors and judges from health systems, startups and universities roll up sleeves to help you de-risk your idea.

PRIZES!!! Whether you prefer the software, the hardware, or all sides of medical innovation, there is something for everyone in this hackathon.

Who it's for: Clinicians with a problem worth solving. Engineers and data scientists who want impact. Designers, product folks and students ready to learn by doing. If you care about safer, smarter, fairer care - you belong here.

Tickets are limited by design. Bring your curiosity, your laptop and your best "what if?" - we'll provide the data, mentors, food, coffee and a stage for your big leap. Grab your spot now and help build the hospital you'd want for someone you love.
