Hanoi, April 10, 2026 – The Harvard Health Systems Innovation Lab Global Hackathon 2026 – Vietnam Hub officially takes place on April 10-11, 2026 at Phenikaa University, Hanoi. This year’s event brings together 41 teams of students, engineers, developers, and experts from diverse fields, marking a significant increase from 26 teams in 2025 and reflecting the rapid growth of Vietnam’s healthcare innovation community.
The event is co-organized by Phenikaa University, Hanoi Medical University, and PATH. As a co-organizer, Phenikaa University also provides the infrastructure and facilities for the full operation of the Vietnam Hub.
The HSIL Global Hackathon is a global innovation initiative organized annually since 2020 by the Harvard Health Systems Innovation Lab (HSIL) under the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Entering its seventh edition, the 2026 program is held under the theme “Building High-Value Health Systems: Leveraging AI,” highlighting the role of artificial intelligence in creating more effective, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare systems.
Over the course of 48 hours, participating teams focus on major healthcare challenges such as electronic health record analysis, AI-assisted diagnosis and intelligent medical chatbots, as well as healthcare workforce shortages and personalized medicine.
At the event, SotaTek proudly showcases two representative AI healthcare solutions:
• PACS-AI – an AI-powered solution supporting liver and lung cancer diagnosis by identifying tumor boundaries and reducing image analysis time by up to 80%.
• LIS-AI – an AI application for early Thalassemia screening from routine blood tests, helping identify genetic risk and recommend further diagnostic steps.
Through its participation in this year’s hackathon, SotaTek aims to expand collaboration with universities, research institutes, and healthcare providers to advance clinical research, while training and developing AI models based on real-world data. Through these efforts, SotaTek hopes to further contribute to the healthcare and innovation ecosystem by applying AI to enhance diagnostic quality, optimize healthcare operations, and improve community health outcomes.
