Participation of the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging in the Hackathon of the College of Applied Health Science Technology

On Tuesday, February 11th, an exceptional event took place at the College of Applied Health Science Technology at Misr University for Science and Technology, where the first hackathon was launched, organised by the Entrepreneurship Committee and the Health Management and Informatics Technology Program, creating a space for creativity and innovation in the health sector.

The Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging played a prominent role in this event, actively participating in providing innovative solutions and smart applications that enhance medical imaging techniques and improve healthcare quality.

The department’s contributions included:

• Developing digital solutions based on artificial intelligence for analysing medical imaging, which contributes to accurate diagnosis and reduces medical errors.
• Integrating with other disciplines such as health management and informatics technology, by presenting ideas to link imaging data with electronic patient records to improve medical efficiency.
• Collaborating with other departments through idea exchange and building joint projects that support innovation in the healthcare field.

The competition was characterised by a spirit of collaboration and creativity, as students from the department participated in multiple teams, working alongside their peers from respiratory care technology and health management and informatics technology, adding a collaborative dimension to the presented projects.

Although the department’s teams did not win the top three positions, their active participation and innovative ideas received high praise from the judging panel, reflecting the excellence and creativity that the students of the department possess.

This hackathon is considered a first step towards more events and competitions that bring together various disciplines, opening the door for students of the Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging to engage more in advanced technological projects.
