MIT Hacking Medicine MalaysiaDiabetes XMalaysia’s first MIT-affiliated healthcare platform.
Transforming diabetes care through innovation: smarter solutions for better health outcomes, powered by bold ideas, collaboration and a national-scale vision.
Bringing the whole room to one problem.
Based in Kuala Lumpur, we bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs, students, technologists and innovators to explore new approaches to medicine and healthcare — and we put them in the same room for four days.
The clinicians
The people who see diabetes every week and know exactly where the system loses somebody.
The builders
Engineers, designers and data scientists who have never been inside a clinic.
The people living it
Lived experience is not a nice-to-have on a team. It is the fastest route to a real unmet need.
Innovation today. Healthcare transformation tomorrow.
Teams leave the weekend with something that works, aimed at a real healthcare challenge.
Winning teams get direct introductions for clinical pilots within six to twelve months.
A standing route from problem to prototype to product, rather than a conference that ends.
Ecosystem, talent, economic growth and a Malaysian claim to global leadership in diabetes care.
