Presentation of the winning solutions at 4YFN

The second edition of the GenAI Health Hack brought together nearly one hundred professionals from the clinical, technological, scientific, and institutional fields to tackle real challenges of the Catalan healthcare system through generative artificial intelligence.

The winning teams had the opportunity to present their solutions at the Catalonia Health Ecosystem Innovation Pavillion, the stand of the Fundació TIC Salut i Social and Biocat at the 4YFN congress, held in early March in Barcelona as part of the Mobile World Congress. Hundreds of international visitors and professionals from the Catalan healthcare system visited the space, interested in discovering the region’s talent and most innovative initiatives.
