by AI for Medicine
An online hackathon for students to build AI projects for medicine. Certificates only, no cash prizes.
A global online student hackathon on Devpost where participants build AI projects for medicine. Entries need a public repository with a README, a video of at least 60 seconds showing the project working end to end, and a written description covering the problem, method, an Evaluation section stating the metric and how it was measured, a section on who benefits and who could be harmed, limitations, and what the team would do with another month. Judges score four criteria at 25% each, including Technical Depth and Rigor and Reproducibility; entries without an Evaluation section are capped at half marks on those two. AI assistants are allowed if disclosed, and public datasets or your own recordings should be used. Judging runs 5 to 11 December 2026 and winners are announced on 12 December. Prizes are signed PDF certificates only (a Grand Prize and five category awards, plus participation certificates for finalists), with no cash value. Participants keep their work.
