MedHack: Frontiers Hackathon
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 (Optional) | Sun 15 Feb 5-9pm
Form a team of 2-6 people and pick a challenge track that matches your skills.
LOCATED AT STONE & CHALK, MELBOURNE CBD
121 King St, Melbourne VIC 3000
Remember to buy a Team Formation Ticket to attend the optional Team Formation night !
HACKATHON WEEKEND | Sat 21 - Sun 22 Feb
Choose one or both:
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!
LOCATED AT MONASH UNIVERISTY, CLAYTON, BUILDING 94
Building 94, 20 Exhibition Walk, Clayton VIC 3168
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 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.
