WHAT IS THE TAUMEDTECH HACKATHON?
We believe the future of medicine is in the mingling and combined work of medical workers, researches, scientists and engineers. This work will push medicine forward to new limits and novel solutions. TAU Medtech Hackathon is an event aiming to do just that by creating solutions to medical problems as yet unsolved.
