The Yale Center for Biomedical Innovation & Technology (CBIT) has led and organized the Yale Healthcare Hackathon since 2014, bringing together over 2500 participants to hack on the greatest needs in digital therapeutics, personalized therapy, women's health, and patient monitoring.
This years event took place on January 26-28th, 2024. Maxwell Singer, MD, a PGY3 in the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Science, was challenged to develop an idea and form a team of people who were interested. From there, he and his team developed an early prototype of the product, along with a pitch for an innovation within healthcare. Dr. Singer led his team, and was selected as the winner of the $5,000 grand prize.
We are so proud of Dr. Singer's hard work and innovation!
