This year, the European Health Forum Gastein hosted its first hackathon, jointly organised with EIT Health and with the organisational support of PROIDEA. A hackathon nurtures competition built upon collaboration and aims for an acquisition of knowledge, which is expected to bring forward new ideas. The application call was open to anyone interested in developing innovative solutions for health-related problems. The selected thirty-five participants, with different backgrounds and coming from 18 European countries, have been divided in seven teams and given 36 hours to develop an innovative solution to a problem defined by a group of experts.
