Hea Hackathon: “AI in Search of Hidden Health Signals”
A 2-day hybrid hackathon with a €1,000 grand prize where teams (4 members maximum) build an AI/ML prototype that detects early, "weak" health risk signals by analyzing real-world, self-reported data - i.e., everyday inputs described by a person (not medical records). The goal is not just a model, but a product-ready prototype that could be piloted inside Hea.

After considering the solutions, the committee of judges will select the top 5 teams and invite them to the final discussion and awards ceremony.
🤔 What you’ll build
Your solution should produce:
• Context-aware anomaly detection (vs the person’s own baseline, considering life events)
• Risk scoring + risk category (e.g., metabolic, psycho-emotional, and cardiovascular risk)
• A safe, empathetic follow-up question that gathers more context without sounding like a diagnosis
You’ll submit:
• Working prototype (Notebook or web-service) of your solution
• GitHub repo with source code
• Short team presentation (brief pitch format)
Rules & safety:
• No diagnosing or prescribing treatment (ethics requirement)
• Open source: at least 80% of code must be publicly available
