This year at TEKNOFEST Istanbul, we, as the Health Foundation, took our place with our main stand and competition tents. For five days, we offered our visitors various activities aimed at raising health awareness. While providing information about our foundation's work at our main stand, we conveyed a healthy lifestyle culture in a fun way with activities specially prepared for children and young people.
Some of the areas at our booth included:
Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Experience Area
Reflex Game
Operating Room Experience Area for Children
Artificial Intelligence-Supported Lung Cancer Screening Program
Laparoscopy Experience
Volunteering/Scholarship Information Area
Workshop Area
“Do I Know My Emotions?” Game
Congress Promotion Area
CPR (Heart Massage) Area
“Discovering Our Body” Experience Area
Our visitors had both fun and educational experiences in these areas. Hands-on activities aimed at children, in particular, attracted great interest in terms of reinforcing health awareness at an early age.
Two important topics stood out in our competition tents this year:
🔹 Technological Applications in Psychology: 32 teams competed in this competition. Participants developed projects that could make a difference in the field of health through artificial intelligence and technology integration. This provided an opportunity for innovative ideas to come to the fore and for students to experience team spirit.
🔹 3T in Oncology: Twenty-four teams competed fiercely in our competition, held for the first time this year. Participants presented projects that raised awareness in the field of oncology by combining technology, medicine, and teamwork.
Visitors to our booth throughout the festival both enjoyed themselves and gained new insights into the importance of healthy living. The young participants in the competitions, meanwhile, produced inspiring work by bringing together the technologies of the future with health.
As the Cansağlığı Foundation, we were delighted to be part of these events, which aim to bring technology and public health together.
