MIT Hacking Medicine Malaysia 2026

Diabetes X Innovation Summit & Hackathon

Meet the Experts Shaping the Future of Diabetes Care

Where Healthcare Expertise Meets Bold Innovation AI in Medicine

The future of diabetes care will not be built by one discipline alone.

It will take clinicians who understand the realities of patient care, researchers pushing the boundaries of science, technologists creating new possibilities, entrepreneurs turning ideas into solutions, and community leaders who understand the needs of people living with diabetes.

At MIT Hacking Medicine Malaysia 2026, we bring these perspectives together.

Our speakers are healthcare leaders, innovators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who are helping redefine how we prevent, detect, treat, and manage diabetes.

Through keynote talks, fireside conversations, and interactive sessions, they will share real-world insights, challenge conventional thinking, and inspire participants to approach diabetes from new angles. 

Listen. Question. Connect. Build
