HealthHack | Sydney
Here’s the hackathon you’ll still be talking about next year. We certainly have been (because we're still organising it). UNSW's No Code Society & MLAI brings to you the Sydney edition of the much-loved HealthHack event!
HealthHack brings clinicians, builders and optimists into the same room for one intense weekend of problem-solving.
You’ll join doctors, nurses, data scientists, software engineers 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:
Secret Pre-Hack Networking (Optional) | 17th July
Rub shoulders with clinicians, builders and Sydney's finest. Come alone or bring your team.
Remember to buy a Pre-Hack Networking Ticket to attend the optional Pre-Hack Networking night (only $5).
HACKATHON WEEKEND | 18th - 19th July
Choose one or both:
Coding Tract: build an AI that monitors simulated ward vitals and flags risk early; perfect for first-timers or clinicians new to Machine Learning.
Pitching Tract: work hands-on with de-identified hospital 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: 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 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.
