What to expect

Develop practical AI and digital health solutions for low-resource settings at this one-day Oxford hackathon on 28 November 2026.

Taking place at Oxford Edge, 37 St Giles, the event focuses on health systems where limited connectivity, unreliable power, paper records and long travel distances can prevent vital information from reaching hospitals in time.

Dr Mudji E’kitiak Junior, a physician at Vanga Evangelical Hospital in rural DR Congo and a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford, will open the day with case studies from his work. Participants will then form teams and develop technology-enabled solutions designed for environments where devices and infrastructure are limited.

Who should attend?

The hackathon welcomes students and staff from across Oxford and from all disciplines, including:

  • Computing and engineering
  • Design
  • Medicine
  • Public health

No healthcare or coding experience is required. The day runs from 9:30am to 6:30pm on Saturday 28 November 2026.

Christ Church is running the event with the Oxford Medical Students Society, Oxford MedTech Society and Oxford Global Health Society.
