Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS) officially closed registration for the Health Innovation Hackathon 2026 on October 20th. This competition aims to find creative solutions to various real-world challenges currently faced by the healthcare industry in Indonesia.

Participant enthusiasm for this event has been remarkably high. A total of 50 innovator teams have officially registered to compete in the event. These participants come from diverse backgrounds, representing 30 universities as well as various professional institutions.

The geographical reach of the participants is also quite extensive, spanning eight provinces across Indonesia. This diversity is expected to bring different perspectives in creating health technology innovations that are relevant to the needs of communities in various regions.

Through this competition, UMS aims to encourage collaboration between academics and professional practitioners to solve complex health problems. It is hoped that the ideas generated by the participants can later be implemented in reality to improve the quality of healthcare services in the country.

Currently, all registered teams will soon enter the next selection stage. The organizers are optimistic that the innovations born from this event will make a positive contribution to the development of the digital health landscape in Indonesia in the future.
