From November 13 to 15, 2026, the Adopt AI for Health hackathon brought together around a hundred participants for three days: healthcare professionals, patients, engineers, data scientists, designers and entrepreneurs.
Co-organized by Adopt AI, Hacking Health Camp and Unaite, the hackathon set out to develop AI solutions for human health, in response to challenges submitted by players in the field: healthcare institutions, public bodies, industry partners and startups.
Supported by mentors and experts, 10 teams designed and prototyped their solutions over a single weekend. On this stage, the winning teams present their projects, from the problem they identified to the solution they built.
Europe has world-class science and hospitals, yet clinical development still loses time here. As AI compresses discovery, can clinical validation keep pace?
Reda Guiha, Graham Belgrave and Prof. Bjoern Eskofier, alongside moderator Dr. Claire Murigande, will look at where clinical development loses time in Europe, where AI can already speed up trials without compromising rigor, and what it will take to bring new therapies to patients at the pace of computational discovery.
Promising AI solutions are multiplying across health systems, but implementing them effectively remains a challenge. How can organizations transition from isolated trials to sustainable, system-wide deployment?
Moderator Tjaša Zajc leads a discussion with Somesh Chandra, Harold F. Wolf III, Prof. Petra Ritter and Cyril Schiever on embedding AI into healthcare operations and clinical workflows, and balancing innovation with governance, risk management, patient outcomes and service quality.
