MIT Hacking Medicine MalaysiaDiabetes XInnovation for a healthier future.
One day connecting clinicians, researchers, entrepreneurs and innovators to reimagine diabetes care — and to watch the weekend’s teams present what they built.
The day, hour by hour
8:30am to 5:30pm at the M World Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
The condition as it is actually lived, from the people living it.
Where Malaysia’s system loses people, and what it costs.
How interdisciplinary teams get from a problem to a prototype.
And, more usefully, what it still cannot.
Work that exists, running in real clinics.
Policy, payment and procurement, on the record.
The session where somebody is meant to be wrong in public.
What each person in the room commits to next.
The teams present. The weekend’s work meets the room.
What the day is for

The human and system-level challenges of diabetes, not the slide-deck version.
Identified
High-value unmet needs that are actually suitable for innovation.
Learned
The MIT approach to interdisciplinary healthcare innovation, from the people who built it.
