MIT hacking medicine: enhancing global healthcare with collaborative research and innovative solutions.
The Veterans Health Hackathon 2025, taking place August 22–24, 2025 at the Tampa Marriott Water Street, is a three-day innovation event hosted by the Tampa VA Medical Center in collaboration with the VHA Innovation Ecosystem, Microsoft, and MIT Hacking Medicine. It brings together up to 300 participants—including Veterans, clinicians, engineers, designers, researchers, and more—to form diverse teams. Guided by expert mentors and equipped with Microsoft’s generative AI tools and de-identified VA data, teams address strategic priorities across three tracks: Timely Access to Care, Optimize Enterprise-wide Costs and Operational Efficiency, and Improve Community Care Coordination
The first-ever MIT Hacking Medicine event in Brazil will take place September 5–7, 2025 at the Albert Einstein Teaching and Research Center in São Paulo, hosted by Eretz.bio. Over three days, multidisciplinary teams of healthcare, technology, business, and design professionals will address two critical challenges—metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and chronic inflammation as a cardiovascular risk factor—using the MIT Hacking Medicine methodology, progressing from problem definition to prototyping with guidance from expert mentors. The hackathon will culminate in final pitches, awards, and an InterSystems GenAI challenge encouraging participants to integrate generative AI into their solutions.
