About this Event
AI coding tools have opened the door for rapid healthtech prototyping—but speed without strategy can lead to costly failures. This one-day intensive workshop is designed for clinicians and non-technical founders who want to leverage AI tools effectively without falling into the technical debt trap.
The rise of AI-assisted development has created a new wave of “vibe coding”—where prototypes are built fast but lack the technical foundations needed for scale, security, and compliance. In healthcare, these shortcuts can be catastrophic: systems that can’t integrate with hospital infrastructure, code that fails privacy standards, and startups that collapse during investor due diligence. This workshop equips you with the skills and frameworks to build prototypes that don’t just impress today, but survive tomorrow.
What you’ll learn:
- Build fast, build smart: Learn how to use AI coding assistants responsibly in healthcare.
- Avoid hidden pitfalls: Understand technical debt, security risks, and integration challenges before they derail your project.
- Investor-ready foundations: Create a “Technical Passport” and documentation that passes due diligence.
- Hands-on results: Leave with a functional MVP, an AI-assisted pitch deck, and a clear roadmap for scaling.
- Prize package: Winners package, including mentorship, to be announced soon
