The cases the teams worked on were:
- Case 1 (Healthcare 1): Blended Care as Normality for Rehabilitation Care
Case leaders: Lian van Amerongen and Annemarie de Brabander
This case focused on finding a creative and sustainable way to continuously motivate healthcare professionals to embrace blended care—the combination of digital and physical care—as a natural, attractive, and valuable part of their work, thereby improving both care quality and job satisfaction. - Case 2 (Healthcare 2): City-wide Access to Assistive Technology
Case leaders: Luc de Witte and Charlotte Krom
This case revolved around developing an inclusive and practical approach to make assistive devices and supportive technologies more visible, understandable, and accessible for older residents of The Hague, with the goal of helping them live independently longer and reducing pressure on formal healthcare. - Case 3 (Prevention): Artistic/Cultural Healthcare Innovation
Case leader: Julia Peters
The focus was on developing inclusive art and cultural interventions that enhance mental, social, and physical wellbeing, reduce stress, and foster connection, with special attention to vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups and collaboration with local networks and organizations. - Case 4 (Sustainability): Improving the Endoscopy Department EMC
Case leader: Ceyda Isci
This case aimed to find creative and feasible ways to make the endoscopy department of Erasmus MC more sustainable by reducing waste, promoting reuse, and optimizing energy and water use, with attention to behavior, awareness, and collaboration between healthcare professionals and patients. - Case 5 (Transformation): Connecting Communities for (Health)Care
Case leader: Veronica Janssen
This case focused on developing digital solutions that connect families, neighborhoods, and informal caregivers to distribute care responsibilities more fairly and strengthen mutual support and connectedness within the community.
The day can be looked back on as a successful and well-attended event, where young professionals, researchers, and students from diverse backgrounds collaboratively developed innovative solutions for current challenges in healthcare. This made the Young Medical Delta Hackathon 2025 a valuable experience.
