Alfaisal University proudly served as an official academic partner in the Prince Abdulaziz bin Saad Lifestyle Medicine Hackathon 2025 in Hail, held under the patronage of HRH Prince Abdulaziz bin Saad bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Hail Region. This major national innovation gathering, organized by the Ministry of Health – Hail Branch, attracted over 400 participants from across Saudi Arabia.
The hackathon focused on three national health challenges: adopting a healthy lifestyle, reducing dependency for the elderly/disabled, and increasing life expectancy through innovation.
Alfaisal University was represented through its key entities: Dimensions Startup Studios, the Office of Research and Innovation, and the Medical Education Department, which collectively delegated three distinguished experts—Eng. Maria Said Alomari, Dr. Ahmed Abuzaid, and Dr. Raed Alawi Albar—to contribute as mentors and a final judge. These experts guided participating teams and evaluated innovative solutions aligned with the Vision 2030 health sector transformation goals.
In recognition of its vital role in advancing innovation, entrepreneurship, and health transformation, Alfaisal University was honored and awarded by His Excellency the Minister of Health and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Hail Region.
