Barcelona will host the first edition of the GenAI Health Hack: a pioneering event on generative AI in health to solve practical challenges of the Catalan Health System 

Hospital Clínic Barcelona, the Health/AI Programme of the Department of Health and the Chair of Precision Oncology of the UB, in collaboration with MIT Critical Data, are holding the first edition of the GenAI Health Hack, a pioneering event in Spain that will bring together the best talents in artificial intelligence to tackle health challenges.

For three days (14 to 16 November), the hackathon will combine inspiring talks and presentations with an innovation marathon. Multidisciplinary teams made up of healthcare professionals, engineers, researchers and experts in ethics will work together to develop innovative solutions based on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) that improve patient care and medical research.

The main aim is to explore and identify new opportunities to apply GenAI in clinical practice, research and healthcare management, as well as to promote a debate on the ethical implications and regulatory frameworks of this technology. In addition, it seeks to encourage interdisciplinary collaborations to solve practical challenges of the Health System that allow the creation of innovative solutions with a positive impact on people’s health.

We would like to invite you to attend the conference of the first edition of the GenAI Health Hack, so that you can get to know the project closely:
