The Global Health Innovation Hackathon (HSIL Hackathon), initiated by Harvard University, established its Taiwan site for the first time in 2026. The event was organized by the research group of Professor John Ta-Yu Lee at the Graduate Institute of Health Policy and Management, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University (NTU), under the Health Economics and Artificial Intelligence Office. The hackathon attracted participants from diverse backgrounds, including engineering, medicine, business, and public health.

Held from April 10 to April 11, the event connected participants from 36 countries worldwide, with more than 14,000 applicants globally. At the Taiwan site, 132 participants formed 31 teams, working intensively over two days to develop innovative health solutions. Ultimately, the top two teams were selected to represent Taiwan at Harvard University, where they will participate in a global training and incubation program and have the opportunity to present their innovations to international investors, demonstrating Taiwan’s growing capabilities in health technology innovation on the global stage.

The Global Health Innovation Hackathon, organized by the Harvard Health Systems Innovation Lab (HSIL), is now in its seventh year. The initiative aims to connect young talents and professionals worldwide to address pressing challenges in healthcare and public health while cultivating the next generation of health innovators and entrepreneurs. Taiwan’s participation this year marks its official entry into the global network and positions the country as an emerging partner in international health innovation.

The Taiwan site, organized by Professor Lee’s research group at National Taiwan University, highlighted Taiwan’s research strength in health and artificial intelligence and created new opportunities for local talent to connect directly with the global innovation ecosystem. By transforming creative ideas into actionable solutions, the initiative further enhances Taiwan’s visibility in the global health innovation landscape. Professor Ta-Yu Lee noted that the hackathon brought together innovative ideas from across five continents and reflected the vision of equitable access to AI-driven healthcare. He also expressed pride in seeing students from different disciplines collaborate beyond academic boundaries and emphasized that, through the guidance of experts from academia, industry, and government, as well as connections to venture capital resources, the next generation is being empowered to translate ideas into real-world impact and ensure that artificial intelligence technology benefits society as a whole.

The planning and execution of the hackathon were carried out entirely by a student team from National Taiwan University. The organizing leads, Arthur C. Kuo, Hui-Ting Hsu, Ai-Ting Yang, and Yi-Hsuan, Liu, were responsible for event planning, international coordination, participant support, and on-site operations. Their efforts demonstrated strong professionalism and teamwork, enabling rapid coordination across institutions and disciplines within a limited timeframe. Their work played a critical role in successfully launching Taiwan’s first participation in the Global Health Innovation Hackathon and marked an important milestone in Taiwan’s engagement with international health innovation initiatives. Kuo shared that truly meaningful innovation rarely begins with technology; it begins with insight—by recognizing problems that may have gone unnoticed but are genuinely worth solving. The true significance of this hackathon lies in bringing people from diverse backgrounds into the same space, each carrying their own insights, and through mutual inspiration and collaboration, transforming ideas into actions that can be implemented in the real world and address real challenges.

In response to the growing prevalence of visual health problems in the digital age, ICBigBoss developed an integrated system that tracks eye fatigue, assesses risk, and provides personalized eye care recommendations, offering a comprehensive solution that spans prevention and improvement. The product has already achieved substantial development progress and secured patents in both Taiwan and the United States. By enabling continuous monitoring and early warning, the system aims to promote proactive eye health management and reinforce the principle of prevention over treatment.

The Healthorithm introduced HealthPET, a digital health platform powered by multimodal models and generative artificial intelligence designed to improve medication adherence among patients with chronic diseases. The system helps users manage medications more effectively through personalized reminders and adaptive health support. Together, these projects demonstrated the strong potential of integrating health technology with real-world clinical needs and opened new possibilities for the future of healthcare innovation.

Members of the judging panel noted that participating teams demonstrated not only innovative thinking but also the ability to integrate healthcare needs, technical feasibility, and market strategy within a short period of time. The overall performance reflected Taiwan’s strong capabilities in health technology innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.

As global health challenges become increasingly complex, no single discipline can address them alone. Hackathons provide an effective platform for accelerating interdisciplinary collaboration, rapidly testing ideas, and transforming concepts into practical solutions. The successful launch of the Taiwan site has established a strong connection between Taiwan and the international innovation community and created valuable opportunities for young professionals to bring their ideas to the global stage.

In addition, Professor John Ta-Yu Lee’s course, “Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare,” offered at National Taiwan University and open to public auditing, aims to cultivate talent equipped with interdisciplinary thinking and practical skills. By integrating innovation with real-world application, the course seeks to lay a long-term foundation for the development of Taiwan’s health technology ecosystem. Looking ahead, the organizers plan to continue hosting similar initiatives to strengthen Taiwan’s connections with the global health innovation network and support more teams in bringing their ideas from Taiwan to the international stage.
