How to simplify doctors’ and nurses’ administrative work? Students of FIT CTU came up with a solution

Students from the Faculty of Information Technology at the Czech Technical University in Prague (FIT CTU) achieved significant success at this year’s nationwide healthcare hackathon Hack jak Brno. They won 3rd place in the InterSystems category, where they worked on solving administrative paralysis in hospital environments. The competition was attended by more than 120 IT students from all over the Czech Republic. The event took place from 28 to 30 November 2025.

The team Brnomická Věta, consisting of Bc. Robin Klubarski, Bc. Yannick Daniel Gibson, Bc. Ivan Dostál and Bc. Přemek Bělka, spent an intense 48 hours working on the MedAssist challenge, which focused on addressing administrative paralysis in hospitals. The University Hospital Brno struggles with thousands of internal documents, fragmented processes, and a multitude of systems that slow down the work of doctors and nurses. The students therefore created a functional prototype of a multi-agent AI assistant capable of unifying access to guidelines, documents, workflows, forms, and contacts across the entire hospital.

Their solution enables employees to communicate with the system in natural Czech. In the background, several smart components operate, capable of quickly searching through hospital documents, securely handling patient data, or automatically assisting with various administrative tasks.

“The platform can decide on its own whether it should simply answer a question or initiate a complex process, while strictly respecting role-based access control rules,” says Robin Klubarski, leader of the Brnomická Věta team. “A single sentence in the chat can replace dozens of clicks across several different systems. If each of the 7,500 employees of University Hospital Brno saved at least 10 minutes per week thanks to such an assistant, it would mean more than 65,000 hours saved annually,” he adds.

The system can answer practical questions such as “How do I arrange a business trip?” or “Who should I contact regarding IT purchasing?” and automatically guides users through the necessary steps. At the same time, it offers safe and standardized procedures, fast onboarding of new employees, and easy scalability — adding a guideline or workflow takes only a few minutes.

“Working on this project was very exciting, and we see great potential for its development. From our perspective, the project can serve as a demonstration of what such a system could look like in reality, both visually and functionally. It can therefore be useful in the initial phases of requirements gathering and architecture design of a real solution for University Hospital Brno,” adds Robin.

“I am very pleased that the second year of Hack jak Brno was once again held at the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University. This year’s hackathon was in many respects even better than the previous one — in the number of challenges and registered teams, as well as in the final presented results, which have real potential for use in clinical practice,” says Andrea Pokorná, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University.
