Hacking Health Camp is the dream of bringing together health professionals, technological profiles, entrepreneurs etc. to build the health of tomorrow.

Hacking Health Camp is the dream of bringing together health professionals, technological profiles, entrepreneurs etc. to build the health of tomorrow.

The promise of HHC is to turn an idea into a working prototype in 50 hours. A lot of people have fantastic ideas, but how many have the possibility to realize them? 

By participating in the Hacking Health Camp you enter into health innovation and discover different ways of collaboration.

Hacking Health Camp

Hackathon: An event during which people with different skills come together for three days to work on a collaborative project.

For a long time reserved for software developers, the concept of hackathon has been exported for a few years now to other sectors, particularly health. And by chance, the largest health hackathon in the world takes place every year in Strasbourg: Hacking Health Camp.

Since 2014, it's more than 300 prototypes and 30 startups created after the hackathon Avant de créer Hacking Health Camp, l’équipe a pris le temps d’observer le fossé qui existe entre ceux qui créent les innovations médicales et ceux qui les utilisent. Fonctionnalités inutiles, difficulté de prise en main, interopérabilité inexistante, les freins à l’adoption de nouvelles solutions santé sont biens identifiés. Et l’explication est simple. Naturellement, les profils issus de filières technologiques et les profils médicaux ne parlent pas la même langue. Hacking Health Camp est donc là pour casser cette barrière et créer des opportunités. Mais au-delà du manque de communication entre santé et tech, nous avons voulu faire de Hacking Health Camp un évènement qui réunit toutes les parties prenantes de l’innovation. Depuis le départ, l’événement est ouvert à tous les acteurs de la santé (professionnels de santé, associations de patients, établissements de soins, laboratoires pharmaceutiques, institutions de santé, assureurs publics et privés en santé) et du numérique (designers, développeurs, ingénieurs, acteurs de la tech, entrepreneurs).  C’est cette diversité qui crée la richesse de l’événement.
50 hours to prototype a solution. Innovating takes time, but lighting the spark is much quicker. This is why we designed the Hacking Health Camp to allow participants to prototype their idea in 50 hours. This is really the objective, to be able to, from an idea, bring out a first functional prototype which will then allow us to move perhaps towards the creation of a startup or a lasting solution. Aware that not everyone is at the same level when we talk about innovation and entrepreneurship, we also wanted this event to be a place of learning. We therefore dedicated Friday to motivating and inspiring conferences and training on the European health entrepreneurial ecosystem. Every year, the most influential speakers in the sector come together on this day. Enjoy it. But the heart of the innovation process remains the hackathon. And we know that it can be difficult to organize your thoughts well and get straight to the point. Coaches are therefore present all weekend to support the teams in this intense exercise. It was even a necessity for us that the teams could have support and an outside perspective from experts during prototyping. There are many pitfalls in health and the best way to avoid them is to share knowledge.

What happens next?

It is impossible to anticipate the success of a project in the long term, but those who want to continue are not « let loose » in the wild. We quickly realised the need for orientation of the projects at the end of the Hacking Health Camp. After the hackathon, we remain at the disposal of the teams to suggest the best way forward… with sometimes very beautiful successes (which you can discover right here).

A great team at your service
