We're open to all innovative ideas in this space and would especially love to connect with people who already have ideas brewing or are eager to dive into these particular areas with us.<h3>Healthcare Data Management</h3>Big data is transforming every industry, including healthcare, but medical data remains fragmented and managed inconsistently by many stakeholders. The challenge is to securely collect, structure, and analyze this data to enable a shift from reactive care to personalized, preventive healthcare.<h3>Screening and Early Diagnostics</h3>Chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, yet many are preventable with early diagnosis. The challenge is to improve accessibility, precision, and timeliness of screening to ensure better health outcomes.<h3>Digital Therapeutics and Disease management</h3>Managing chronic diseases outside hospitals is challenging due to limited time, resources, and information for both patients and healthcare providers. The key challenge is to create transparent, personalized solutions that improve disease management, reduce uncertainty, and enhance patient-provider communication beyond hospital care.<h2> </h2><h2>Important Dates</h2>01 Registration opens : April 7thSubmit your idea, build your team, and connect with potential collaborators before the bootcamp even begins!
