Hacking the Issue of Diabetes

Sanofi, UNDI 18 and Arus Academy have come together to launch Sweet Spot Malaysia, a hackathon that aims to address the rise in diabetes cases among Malaysians, and to come up with innovative solutions to solving the problem.

We speak to one of the brains behind the hackathon, on the inspiration behind this program, as well as what they hope to achieve from it.
