Our Mission

At MediHacks, we strive to host inclusive events for all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds that recognize good projects and talented hackers across the globe. Whether this is your first hackathon ever or you can do one in your sleep, MediHacks is a great way to show off your hacking skills and apply your knowledge to real-world solutions.

With judges and guest speakers including industry professionals from tech companies across the world to venture capitalists, you can get incredible feedback on your projects at MediHacks, to better develop the tools to make tommorow a healthier place for all.

MediHacks has hosted 2 virtual, international hackathons so far. We have raised over 10,000$ in cash from tech companies and hosted over 1,200 total participants from around the world.

MediHacks has collaborated with executives from the multinational Laerdal corporation to curate "Life Saving Challenges". With Laerdal having the resources and data to identify these pressing issues, these challenges give developers a jumping off point to build impactful hardware and software healthcare solutions.

Right now, MediHacks is leading a partnership with the Freshworks STS Software Academy to host hackathons and provide additional support for underprivileged students in India
