HackaHealth Go! - our flexible projects
HackaHealth Go! is a platform to tackle everyday challenges faced by people with disabilities through open projects beyond our hackathons and courses. We follow up on ideas sparked at our events and work on new projects initiated within our community.
Go! projects are aligned with HackaHealth’s mission and spirit: teams form around a Challenger and resolve an everyday challenge together with them.
Anyone who wants to make their abilities matter can join. Teams decide when, where, and how much they work on a project. Students and professionals, young and old.
Learn more about our open projects below and get in touch if you want to join a project team, if you have a daily life challenge, or if you have your own project idea!
Go! Projects open to hackers

Petra wants a tailored speech recognition system
Petra is an active professional working on accessibility projects. Due to her speech impairment, her natural speech is difficult for others to understand. This is a barrier when it comes to customer meetings or collaborative discussions. She wants an AI-powered assistive communication system that translates her speech in real-time so others clearly understand her. We look for motivated hackers anytime in 2026.

Hanna wants to control her hand-opening
Hanna is 6 years old and had a spinal cord injury when she was a baby. Today she loves drawing, playing wheelchair soccer, and playing cards with her family. She can hold the cards herself, but has difficulties opening her hand. To release the card, she shakes them off and sends them flying through the room. She wants a device to open her hand and release the cards in a controlled manner. We look for motivated hackers anytime in 2026.
