JOIN THE MEDWAVE HEALTH HACKATHON

5–6 February 2027

Limassol, Cyprus

Ages 18–30

YOUR IDEA COULD CHANGE HEALTHCARE

YOU DON’T NEED A STARTUP.
YOU DON’T NEED A TEAM.
YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BE A CODER.

MedWave Hack brings together young people ages 18–30 from different backgrounds to work on real healthcare challenges alongside clinicians, mentors and industry experts.

For two days, you'll meet your team, choose a challenge, build an idea and see how far you can take it.

NEVER PARTICIPATED IN A HACKATHON?

Good! No experience required.

A hackathon is a space to solve problems fast.

At MedWave Health Hackathon, healthcare professionals bring challenges they're facing today in their field. You bring your perspective, skills and ideas.

You'll join a multidisciplinary team and spend two days exploring the problem, developing a solution, building or designing a prototype and getting feedback from people who know the field.

You are not expected to arrive with the answer.

That's the point.

YOU
COULD
BE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A CODER

A FUTURE DOCTOR.
A DESIGNER.
A DEVELOPER.
A SCIENTIST.
AN ENTREPRENEUR.
A RESEARCHER.
A PROBLEM SOLVER.
A GREAT COMMUNICATOR.
SOMEONE WITH AN IDEA.

Studying something completely different?

That's okay too.

The best teams don't all think the same way.
