Dedicated to furthering positive impact through healthcare innovation and medical technology.
WHO WE ARE
An interdisciplinary organisation dedicated to achieving positive impact through medical technology, healthcare and biomedical innovation, by bringing about collaboration between undergraduates, graduates, PhDs and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) regardless of home institution, discipline, creed or experience.
MEDHACK
MedHack is Melbourne’s premier student run Healthcare Innovation hackathon. Every year, we bring students together at the intersection of design, engineering, healthcare and entrepreneurship in a 48 hour sprint to help reimagine the future of healthcare.
MedHack will be back in 2027! Check out our medhack page for more updates.
PROJECTS
Our projects consist of multidisciplinary teams that aim to bridge the gap between medicine and technology, and drive forward healthcare innovation.
Our past projects have brought together multidisciplinary teams dedicated to bridging the gap between medicine and technology. Through these initiatives, we have contributed to advancing healthcare innovation by developing solutions that integrate engineering, medical expertise, and cutting-edge technology.
MONASH HEART HACK
Monash Heart Hack is a student team contending in a global competition against various academic institutions to engineer, evaluate, and develop a feasible artificial heart. This team participates in the continuous competition facilitated by the International Society for Mechanical Circulatory Support (ISMCS).
The team is organised into specialised sub-teams, encompassing a wide range of engineering disciplines as well as vital non-technical roles. This collaborative integration of diverse expertise aims to construct an innovative and novel artificial heart.
ARTIFICIAL HEART COMPETITION
Developed by Monash Young MedTech Innovators (MYMI), with support from the International Society for Mechanical Circulatory Support (ISMCS), HeartHack's vision is to connect interdisciplinary teams of students to cardiovascular design through a year-long competition to design and implement a viable total artificial heart.
The competition includes application of the human-centered design methodology, consideration of sustainability and business planning. Entries are now open.
With 105,000 adults (0.5% of the Australia's adult population) that experience heart failure every year and yet only having an average of approximately 120 heart transplant procedures nationwide, there is a great need for innovation within this field.
