Healthcare Hackathon Bayern 2025 – Register now!

In November, Erlangen will once again become a stage for digital health innovations. From November 6 to 8, 2025, the Healthcare Hackathon Bayern will take place at the Innovation Center Erlangen. Medical Engineering students are cordially invited to actively participate in shaping the event.

The hackathon brings together people from IT, medicine, nursing, research, design, and business to work together on specific challenges in healthcare. In interdisciplinary teams, participants develop practical concepts and digital prototypes within two days, supported by experienced mentors from the industry. The results are presented in a final presentation to a jury of experts and awarded prizes.

The hackathon offers our students in particular a special opportunity to apply their technical know-how in a realistic context, learn about new perspectives from related disciplines, and make valuable contacts, whether for internships, theses, or future projects.

The event kicks off on November 6 with a networking event and presentation of the challenges. The following two days will be spent working intensively in teams, from the initial draft to the prototype. Prior programming knowledge is helpful but not required.

Participation is free of charge, but prior registration is required at www.hackathon.medical-valley-emn.de.
