Zimbabwean innovators have been challenged to develop practical solutions to healthcare problems.
This comes as Cimas Health Group has opened registration for Cimas Healthathon 3.0, inviting innovators across the country to develop practical, technology-driven solutions that improve healthcare access, affordability and delivery.
Running under the theme “Reimagining Healthcare Through Disruptive Innovation,” the challenge is open to innovation hubs, start-ups, university technology teams, software developers and product innovators.
Participants will be required to transform their ideas into workable minimum viable products that address challenges such as fragmented health data, limited access to services, preventive healthcare, service delivery inefficiencies, and patient experience.
Cash prizes totalling US$7 000 will be awarded. The winning team will receive US$ 3 500, while the second- and third-place teams will receive US$2 000 and US$1 500 respectively.
Applications close on 12 July 2026 and interested applicants should visit the Cimas Health Group social media platforms and website to register.
