Key Challenge
Key Challenge:
The Adelaide MedTech Hackathon aims to address the challenges associated with healthcare. With a focus on STeAM (Sustainability, Technology, Accessibility, Mental Health), we hope to make meaningful contributions towards environmentally sound healthcare waste management, preventing successive adverse health and environmental consequences. Additionally, we aim to uncover the challenges healthcare professionals face in delivering equitable care, exploring innovative technologies to improve system efficiency, enhancing accessibility for all patients, and creating solutions that support the mental wellbeing of both patients and providers. As part of the medical technology theme, we also hope to explore advancements that have the potential to positively transform healthcare practices.
