Inspiring Future Innovators

Heart Hackathon is the world’s first total artificial heart design competition, aiming to nurture and inspire the next generation in cardiovascular innovation.

“Addressing power efficiency: How can your total artificial heart be more power efficient to reduce the size of wearable components and improve patient quality of life?”

— Challenge Statement 2026, Presented by Adcorpus

Be part of the future of artificial heart innovation

The Heart Hackathon is an annual, global student competition where teams must collaboratively conceive, design and build innovative total artificial hearts. 

Participants will enhance their engineering skills through hands-on development, while connecting with industry professionals and topic experts from around the world, fostering cardiovascular innovation for the next generation.

I learned more from the single year of competing in Heart Hackathon than the entire 4 years of my undergraduate studies. It’s an invaluable experience.
