Children, doctors and architects pitch ideas for a new children’s hospital at unique hackathon

After the success of CCIT HACK 2016 (AKU Hackathon v1.0) focusing on Emergency Medicine, Aga Khan University brings their 2nd edition Hackathon in collaboration with Hacking Pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital, USA.

The goal of the Hackathon is to assist in designing the next generation Children’s Hospital which does not feel like a hospital, is state-of-the-art and cost-effective.
