Adelaide Medtech Hackathon
The Adelaide MedTech Hackathon is an intensive innovation program that is open to all South Australian tertiary students and the general public. After a successful debut in 2022 in fighting the War Against Healthcare Waste, we are proud to announce this year’s dual theme, Healthcare Dilemmas and Sustainability, and Medical Technology.
The MedTech Hackathon will incorporate four workshops in early August facilitated by industry and academic leaders in sustainability, medicine, and innovation. Participants will also have access to formal mentoring sessions with knowledge specific practitioners, to accelerate teams through the process of creating, developing, assessing, and executing your ideas. Teams will then pitch their innovative ideas to a panel of judges for the chance to win prizes.
