The problem
High blood pressure and cholesterol often go undetected until a cardiac event forces the issue, even though the risk factors are usually visible in routine data years earlier.
What we're looking for
Tools that surface cardiovascular risk earlier — from primary care records, community screening, or wearable data — and help people act on it.
Who should come
Open to everyone, whatever your background or experience level — you don't need a health, data, or technical background to take part. We're deliberately bringing together a wide mix of people to pitch and build ideas together, including cardiologists and GPs, data scientists, patients and carers, students, and designers, and anyone else curious enough to get stuck in. No team, no idea, and no experience necessary — teams form on the day, so come solo or bring friends.
