UNIGE Faculty of MedicineFacMed Hack #1Digital Phenotyping of Mental Health

Support us

This hackathon runs on institutional support. Your support pays for the room, the food, the prizes and the coaching that gets fifty people to the point where they can build something real in a weekend.

Why support FacMed Hack #1

  • You reach fifty of the most capable Master’s and PhD students in Geneva neuroscience and clinical research, working for two days on problems you care about.
  • The outputs are real: prototypes, validated pipelines, and project outlines that go on to SNSF, Horizon Europe and philanthropic submissions.
  • It seeds the digital phenotyping facility at Neuro @ Campus Biotech with actual users and actual problems, rather than a launch event.
  • Final presentations are public and attended by supporters and philanthropic funders — your support is visible where it matters.
