Is it an in-person or online event?
Our hackathon is a unique hybrid event that combines the best of both formats! Most of the hackathon, including initial brainstorming sessions, project development, and mentoring, will be conducted online. This provides participants with the flexibility to join from anywhere, fostering greater diversity and collaboration.
However, for the grand final and project presentation, we will meet in person. This culminating day of the event offers the opportunity to interact face-to-face with other teams, mentors, and judges, enriching the experience with that vital human connection and energy that only an in-person environment can provide.
This combination of remote and in-person participation allows us not only to reach a broader and more diverse audience but also to create a more inclusive and accessible event. Additionally, the in-person session will be a celebration of the innovations and hard work accomplished, allowing all participants to share their experiences and learn from each other more directly.
Does it have any cost?
We are pleased to inform you that participation in our hackathon is completely free. There is no associated cost to join and compete in this exciting and challenging event. We firmly believe in accessibility and providing equal opportunities to all technology and innovation enthusiasts.
However, it is important to mention that while the event itself is free, each team will be responsible for their own mobility expenses on the in-person day of the event. We recommend planning ahead to ensure a seamless and highly productive experience.
Who can join my team?
Your team is the core of your experience in our hackathon! We seek to foster innovation and creativity, so we encourage the formation of multidisciplinary teams. Ideally, your team should consist of members with diverse skills and knowledge, especially those related to health and artificial intelligence. This will not only enrich your project but also provide a unique and comprehensive perspective to address challenges in the health field.
It is important to note that all team members must be over 18 years old. This rule ensures that all participants have the maturity and experience necessary to collaborate effectively and make the most of the event.
We encourage professionals and students from diverse fields such as medicine, engineering, data science, programming, design, and more, to join and contribute their unique expertise. Together, you can create innovative solutions that make a significant difference in the healthcare field using artificial intelligence.
Do I need to know about AI to participate?
We understand that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad and evolving field, so our event is designed to be inclusive and welcoming to participants with varying levels of experience in AI, from enthusiastic beginners to accomplished experts.
While having some knowledge of AI is valuable, it is not an essential requirement for every team member. Our hackathon is an exceptional opportunity to learn, explore, and grow. We encourage teams with a mix of skills and experiences to come together, bringing different perspectives and approaches to the challenge.
Therefore, while a basic understanding of AI may be beneficial, the most important factors are curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a passion for innovating in the healthcare field. Dare to participate and discover the potential of AI, regardless of your level of previous experience!
What kinds of projects can be submitted?
Applications and solutions of artificial intelligence addressing identified issues in the Peruvian healthcare system. This includes, but is not limited to, telemedicine applications, AI-assisted diagnostic tools, inventory management systems for medicines and medical devices, and education and training platforms for healthcare professionals.
