This year, three themes were chosen to guide participants in the ideation process. First of all, "Mental health" has become a particularly worrying issue given the pressures on health professionals. This theme is a wide range because it covers psychiatric disorders up to well-being at work. Then, "Cancer" with nearly 150,000 deaths each year in France, this disease will be addressed from all these angles. From biology to patient empowerment, participants will be able to work on this theme to bring out new ways of approaching the symptoms of patients suffering from it. The third theme is "Citizen Health", because we need affordable and accessible solutions that will scale and improve the health of people and their communities. This theme includes improving access to health care in remote areas or the little things we do every day to ensure our health.
With more than 250 registrants, 50 mentors present to help the teams and a jury of more than 15 judges to award the prizes, the MIT PARIS GRAND HACK is an international event for scientific innovation.
