Description:
PharmaHackathon is a competitive 3-day event where interdisciplinary and diverse teams of people come together to solve pharmacy challenges. You don't need to have any new ideas to join, as all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and energy!
Who can participate?
This is a national competition and is open to all students, employees, and retired people who want to positively impact life, regardless of their backgrounds (medical, engineering, IT, business, and entrepreneurship). Join us if you have an idea that facilitates procedures, tackles health problems, and develops innovative healthcare and biomedical solutions. Also, you can join us and share your experience and expertise in any field, even if you don't have an idea.
Individual or group registration?
Whether you are by yourself or you are a group of people, you are all welcome to join. Keeping in mind that the interdisciplinary backgrounds of people will be combined to build a full team. Note that the minimum number of members in one group is three. Also, there is no maximum; nevertheless, we recommend not to exceed eight members.
How can I win?
The top five ideas will be awarded. However, it is not about winning - it is about learning, having fun, and starting innovative solutions for pharmacy challenges. Winners will be chosen by a judging panel based on the following criteria: problem definition, innovation and originality, practicality, technical complexity, impact, and business potential. More details could be found in the judging criteria table.
