About this event
Health is full of problems worth building on, and this hack day is designed for people who want to move from talking about ideas to testing them. Sundai Hack - Rome - Health brings together builders, operators, researchers, and curious newcomers for an in-person day focused on creating, sharing, and stress-testing health-related concepts in a collaborative room. Whether you arrive with a clear project in mind or just a strong interest in health and technology, this is a setting where momentum matters. You can expect practical conversations, fast collaboration, and the kind of networking that happens best when people are working side by side on something concrete. About the Event This is an in-person community hack event in Rome centered on health. The theme creates a useful constraint: instead of trying to cover everything, the day focuses attention on challenges, tools, and opportunities connected to healthcare, wellbeing, patient experience, clinical workflows, public health, or adjacent areas where thoughtful experimentation can lead to better solutions. The format is built to be social and productive at the same time. It is not just a meetup where people circulate and exchange introductions, and it is not only a formal conference with passive listening. It sits in the middle: a room where people meet, form conversations quickly, shape ideas, and spend real time building, sketching, refining, or validating them with others. Because the event is tagged across community, networking, meetup, and social, the atmosphere should appeal both to people who want to make progress on a project and to those who want to plug into a local network of others interested in health-focused innovation. You do not need to show up with a finished plan to participate meaningfully. What to Expect The day starts on Sunday, June 8 at 10:00 AM GMT+2, giving everyone a clear morning kickoff and a full day window for collaboration. In a hack-oriented format like this, you can expect the flow of the event to revolve around meeting people quickly, aligning on ideas, and then getting to work. Likely activities throughout the day include: Introductions and idea-sharing so attendees can quickly understand who is in the room Team formation or informal collaboration around shared health interests or problems Working sessions for building, prototyping, mapping workflows, outlining concepts, or validating assumptions Peer feedback and discussion that help strengthen ideas before people go deeper Casual networking between sessions, where many of the best connections often happen What makes a health-themed hack day especially useful is the range of perspectives that can contribute. Some attendees may approach problems from product or technical angles, while others may bring domain insight, user empathy, operations experience, or local context. That mix tends to produce sharper questions and more realistic ideas. Expect a hands-on environment rather than a passive one. Even if you are not coding, there is plenty of room to contribute through problem framing, research, note-taking, concept testing, storytelling, design input, or helping a team think through real-world constraints. Why Attend If you care about health and want to be around people who are serious about building, this event gives you a fast way to find your peers. A single focused day can surface collaborators, reveal which ideas have energy behind them, and expose blind spots early, before you spend weeks working in isolation. You should also expect practical value from the conversations themselves. Health is an area where good intentions are not enough; ideas need to be useful, responsible, and grounded in real needs. Spending time with others who can question assumptions, add expertise, or share adjacent experience makes your thinking stronger. There is also a clear networking benefit. The best professional connections often come from doing something together, not just introducing yourself over coffee. Here, networking is built into the activity: you meet people by solving problems, comparing approaches, and seeing how each other thinks. You may leave with: A new collaborator or team A clearer sense of which health problems feel urgent and buildable Feedback that improves an early idea Better understanding of the local community around health, startups, and hacking in Rome Momentum to keep working after the event ends Practical Details Sundai Hack - Rome - Health is an in-person event in Rome, Italy. The exact venue has not yet been announced, so attendees should plan for a Rome-based location and keep an eye out for updated venue information closer to the date. The event begins on Sunday, June 8 at 10:00 AM GMT+2. Since this is a hack-format gathering, it is worth arriving ready to engage from the start. If you already have an idea you want to explore, come prepared to explain it simply. If you do not, coming with curiosity and a willingness to join others is more than enough. A few useful ways to prepare: Think about a health problem, workflow, or user need you care about Be ready to describe your skills, interests, or what kind of team you work well with Bring whatever you usually need for a productive in-person work session Leave room for flexibility, since the best collaboration often comes from unexpected matches This event will likely be most rewarding for people who want to participate actively rather than observe from the sidelines. If you enjoy sharp conversations, collaborative building, and meeting people through shared work, this is the kind of room where a lot can happen in one day.
