Codex for Healthcare: From Prototype to Production
Theme: Healthy Longevity
About the Event:
A*STAR, IMDA, and OpenAI are advancing the frontier of AI in complementary ways — from translational research and healthcare innovation, to digital ecosystem development, to cutting-edge AI models and developer tools.
Together, we are creating a platform for Singapore’s healthcare AI community to accelerate innovation across research, clinical workflows, diagnostics, preventive care, patient engagement, and healthy longevity.
Singapore brings together world-class research institutions, trusted healthcare systems, strong public-private partnerships, and a growing builder ecosystem, making it an ideal environment to shape the next generation of healthcare AI solutions.
This high-energy hackathon brings together founders, engineers, clinicians, researchers, designers, and students to rapidly prototype and validate impactful healthcare AI applications.
Participants will explore how AI can support healthy ageing, preventive care, clinical operations, patient empowerment, wellness technologies, and new models of care.
Whether your background is technical, clinical, product-focused, or design-oriented, there is a place for you. Expect rapid ideation, hands-on building, mentorship, expert feedback, and live demonstrations showcasing what becomes possible when healthcare expertise meets frontier AI capabilities.
Who Should Join:
AI builders
Clinicians and healthcare professionals
Designers and product thinkers
Startup founders
Researchers, students, and public health innovators
Anyone passionate about AI, healthcare, and healthy longevity
