Build the Future of Healthcare with Juno & Anthropic
Juno is hosting the Consumer Health Hackathon at Encode Hub on July 25–26, 2026. First place gets a guaranteed YC interview, sponsor credits and bonus prizes across multiple tracks. Every attendee walks out with swag. Healthcare is full of broken portals, confusing bills, long phone calls and products that are difficult to use. AI is already changing what is possible—from better diagnostics and useful biometrics to medication support, insurance copilots and care-navigation tools. Come build a product that solves a real healthcare problem for real people. No prior healthcare experience is required—just bring curiosity, urgency and your A-game. Sponsors and Partners ElevenLabs: Voice AI and audio infrastructure for building realistic speech, voice agents and conversational products. Supabase: The Postgres development platform powering a new generation of developer tools. Juno (YC P26): An AI health assistant for people living with chronic illness. Anthropic: An AI safety and research company that builds reliable, interpretable and steerable AI systems, including Claude. OpenAI: An AI research and deployment company whose mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Vercel: Vercel is the platform for shipping websites, apps, and agents. Creators of Next.js, AI SDK, ChatSDK and Eve, the framework for building agents. Who Should Apply Builders, designers, engineers and operators who want to make consumer healthcare better. Teams can have up to four people. You can also come solo, and we will make it easy to meet potential teammates and form a team on the day. Why Join Build something people would actually use. Compete with other serious builders. Get hands-on with modern AI and developer infrastructure. Leave with a real product, prizes, swag and a shot at YC.
