GooApps, having participated multiple times in app development contests within the health sector, such as the Hackathon event organized by the Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid, and even having served as judges in some editions, has now organized its own event. This event is designed to integrate technology and health in a collaborative and highly specialized environment.
The AI & mHealth Challenge 2024 is a pioneering call that will bring together healthcare professionals, the pharmaceutical industry, and technology experts to address and solve the challenges of the public health system in Spain. This event, which will take place throughout October 2024 with three online sessions and a final in-person event in Gijón, aims to improve the quality of care and the efficiency of the healthcare system through innovative technological solutions.
The importance of this event lies in its ability to bring together various actors from the health and technology sectors in a single event. Here, projects will be explored and developed with a strong focus on integrating artificial intelligence (AI), virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), and mHealth technologies. These tools have the potential to make diagnosis and treatment more efficient and personalized, as well as open new dimensions and possibilities in medical care.
The AI & mHealth Challenge 2024 presents a unique opportunity for participants to collaborate in creating a technological innovation ecosystem in health. The event, which will culminate in a final day at the Milla del Conocimiento Margarita Salas in Gijón, will witness the brightest minds in the sector coming together to shape the future of public health in Spain.
The AI & mHealth Challenge 2024 is a pioneering event organized by GooApps that aims to bring together professionals from the healthcare sector, the pharmaceutical industry, and technology experts to tackle and solve current and future public health challenges in Spain.
