About the event

Artificial Intelligence in medicine and healthcare has been a conference topic for too long. It is time for it to become a tool in the hands of those who live clinical practice and research every day. Bring your laptop, your curiosity, and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Due to its condensed format as an intensive hacking session, this event requires dedicated interactive participation with the implicit promise to stay until the conclusion of the evening sprint. A waiting list will be set up to manage attendance restrictions.


Program

Tuesday, September 1, 2026

TimeActivity
14:00Kick-off and Inspiration - Tooling Shallow Dive - Fast-paced live demos of development tooling (e.g., Replit, Codex Flow, and Antigravity) to establish an immediate assisted workflow.
14:45Team Formation and Match-making - Connecting clinical challenges (the healthcare problems) directly with technical builders to formulate immediate targets.
15:15Build Sprint I - Environment deployment, initialization of code bases, and structural prototype architecture design.
16:45Networking Break and Review - Short coffee break to cross-pollinate architectural ideas and exchange feedback with peers and instructors.
17:00Build Sprint II and Debugging - High-intensity development block. Dedicated mentors rotate dynamically across working tables to clear obstacles.
18:15Demo Hour and Closing Remarks - Final live showcases of functional medical AI prototypes produced by groups during the afternoon.
