What We've Been Up To
Events
From hands-on workshops to national hackathons — here's what MedTech for All has been doing since launching in 2025.
MIT Hacking Medicine — Boston Grand Hack 2026
MedTech for All traveled together to Boston to compete in the MIT Hacking Medicine Grand Hack — one of the world's premier healthcare hackathons. Our coordinators each joined a separate team across three tracks: Trauma & Rehabilitation, Virtual Diagnostic Interfaces, and Portable Health. Over three days at the MIT Media Lab, teams went from problem pitching and team formation to building prototypes, attending workshops on data platforms and pitching strategy, and presenting solutions to a panel of judges.
Using AI as a Learning Tool — Introductory Workshop
Our inaugural event marked MedTech for All's return with a dual focus: examining real-world examples of health tech inequity — from pulse oximeter racial bias to disparities in CGM prescriptions — and then turning to a hands-on workshop on using large language models as a practical learning tool. The session covered hallucinations, prompt strategies, and the strengths and limitations of AI in clinical education, while also highlighting upcoming healthtech conferences and innovation resources at UCLA.
Translating Inadequacies in Clerkships into Potential Solutions — Early Beginnings
The event that started it all. MedTech for All brought together medical students and residents for a panel discussion on how gaps in clinical clerkships expose deeper systemic issues in healthcare delivery. Five panelists from across DGSOM shared firsthand perspectives on the disconnect between what trainees encounter in rotations and what patients actually need — sparking the conversations that would shape the organization's mission.
