We’re getting NYC’s most ambitious hackers and healers in one room to spark healthcare innovation.

Credentialed clinicians (healers) will share the messy realities of patient care and the scar tissue they’ve picked up working inside the bureaucracy of US healthcare. Professional builders (hackers) will wield the tools to build scalable solutions for the hardest technical problems. Together, you’ll jam on prototypes that reimagine how care gets delivered. The point is to facilitate conversations between those who actually practice and those who can build, bypassing everyone who usually gets in between.

🧑‍💻 Hackers, come ready to build your craziest ideas and get a masterclass from those on the front lines on what’s actually clogging the pipes of our healthcare system.

👩‍⚕️ Healers, bring the ideas you always wanted built but never got around to and the day-to-day pains your admins never get around to fixing.

This isn’t a pitch competition. There actually won’t be any slide decks allowed during the demos. Yes, we said demos, not presentations. We’re indexing 100% on live demonstrations of products built during the hackathon. The goal is to inspire curiosity, foster collaboration, and push your vibe coding skills to the limit.

Expect passionate discussions about what’s actually true, late-night ideas, and a community that thrives on bold thinking.
