About Us

Hack-o-Med, a Health -Tech Hackathon is the first of its kind in India.

For the first time in India, we aim to create a smarter health care sector where engineers and medical professionals are working together under one roof for a smarter solution to promote and improve patient outcomes, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. This includes the use of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), telemedicine, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and big data analytics. However, it also raises important ethical and privacy concerns around data security, consent, and access.
