The Hacking Health Connect Night in Melbourne this week saw a range of interested people come together to discuss Hacking Health @ HIC.

Details about the event and what to expect were discussed in an open forum by Greg Moran and Dr Louise Schaper. Projects are starting to be formed so keep an eye out on the Sparkboard as it starts to populate. HISA would like thank Georgia McDonald at The Wade Institute for hosting and providing catering for the event. 

Our next lead-up event is the Practice Pitch Night on the 14th July. See you there!


HISA is glad to confirm that Luc Sirois is facilitating Hacking Health @ HIC. Luc is Co-founder of the international Hacking Health movement which advocates and promotes innovation in healthcare. Based in Canada Luc and the Hacking Health group can provide real international connections and network for teams and participants at the event. Watch Luc's video - he is excited to be visiting Melbourne Australia!

Healthtech and Hype: Lessons from Theranos 

The rise and fall of Theranos has seen the unravelling of this US based health-technology start-up, with the once heralded company now under criminal investigation and facing a class action. Join a panel of experts on Tuesday 5 July in Melbourne, for a discussion on the lessons from Theranos and the future implications for IVDs, personalised medicine and "disruptive" healthcare technology.
