Europe's health data is fragmented, and the people with the right AI methods rarely hold the right data. Recoding Medicine attacks that directly: each team curates at least one unique health dataset of real clinical or societal value, then shows what it is worth by building a concrete AI application on top of it.

The challenge runs three stages over 24 months. A jury picks up to 13 teams at a Pit

Curating at least one unique health dataset of high clinical or societal relevance, and proving its value through a concrete AI application — biomarkers, diagnostics, clinical decision support or drug repurposing.
