AI Meets Medicine: Collaborative Solutions for the Future of Healthcare
Building Safe, Inclusive AI Systems to Improve Healthcare Efficiency
Join usWe are reimagining the traditional datathon format by shifting focus from pure model-building to real-world evaluation of AI tools
Core objectives
Interdisciplinary Collaboration
Bring together healthcare professionals, technologists, social scientists, and end users to co-create AI solutions that address real-world healthcare challenges.
Real-World Evaluation
Shift the focus from AI model development to assessing how these systems perform in real healthcare settings — in diagnosis, treatment planning, and doctor–patient communication.
User Engagement
Include patients and frontline healthcare workers in the evaluation process to ensure that AI systems are truly usable, relevant, and responsive to real needs.
Ethical and Resilient AI Design
Promote the creation of fair, safe, and adaptable AI systems that address bias, legal implications, and are built to withstand dynamic social and political environments.

Day 1
Participants will kick off the hackathon with an opening speech by Dr. Leo Celi, a global leader in health AI and data science. The event will prompt participants to reflect on key questions around the use of generative AI in healthcare. After the opening session, participants will form multidisciplinary teams. Each team will be assigned a challenge based on a real-world healthcare scenario. At the end of the day, the event will transition into an aperitivo networking session.

Day 2
Teams will return to the same venue to continue refining their prototypes. The morning will be dedicated to finalizing their projects and preparing for presentations. In the afternoon, each team will present their work to a jury of experts from partner institutions. Projects will be evaluated based on innovation, real-world impact, and ethical considerations. The event will conclude with an award ceremony. Participants will also have access to a coffee station with snacks and a light lunch to keep them fueled throughout both days.
