The MedTech Sprint Hackathon will be a dynamic two-day event where students, startups, healthcare innovators, and professionals from all fields come together to address real-life healthcare challenges. Organized by Rīga Stradiņš University, STADA Latvia, and EIT Health RIS Hub in Latvia, this hackathon will offer a unique opportunity to collaborate, innovate, and compete for exciting prizes while contributing to better healthcare outcomes.

This event will be a chance to tackle pressing issues such as improving patient preparation for medical consultations, enhancing data recording on previous therapies, educating patients about their diagnoses and treatments, and elevating the overall patient experience. Participants of all educational or practical fields are invited, as diverse backgrounds and expertise often lead to the most innovative solutions. Over the course of 25th and 26th March, the hackathon will include idea workshops, mentorship sessions, pitching skill development, and team-building activities.

As an idea hackathon event, the focus will be on developing innovative concepts rather than technical implementation. Teams will pitch their solutions to a professional jury, competing for a grand prize of 700 EUR for the first place and 300 EUR for the runner up's, and other awards. All participants will receive a diploma to recognize their contribution and add to their CVs. This event will be a chance to learn, network, and make a meaningful impact on healthcare – an opportunity not to be missed!
