PRECISEU participates in the Sahlgrenska Global Health Hackathon 2024-2025, an event that goes beyond conventional hackathons to create a collaborative initiative addressing global challenges in the field of health. This hackathon responds to the urgent need for innovation, as health systems worldwide face the challenges of aging populations, chronic diseases, and unequal access to healthcare. Traditional solutions are no longer enough; new ideas, collaborations, and technologies are required.

The hackathon brings together a diverse group of professionals in life sciences, healthcare, AI, IT, and biotechnology, including healthcare providers, researchers, clinicians, students, and experts in health informatics and epidemiology. This event gathers participants from three continents, six countries, and nine locations, who will work together to create innovative and sustainable solutions. In addition to providing an opportunity to connect with leading experts and mentors in health technologies, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals, participants can expand their professional networks, contribute to impactful solutions, and showcase their talent to globally renowned organizations.
