Overview
DSH Hacks V2 is an online, public hackathon hosted collaboratively by DeltaForge Hacks, NXT Horizon, and STEMise. This global student competition invites participants aged 13 and above to develop innovative technical solutions within the theme of AI x Healthcare. The event aims to transform bold ideas into practical products that address contemporary health challenges. The competition encourages participants to identify a real-world healthcare problem and design a meaningful technical solution. Projects can span various categories, including diagnostic tools, patient-care platforms, or AI-powered systems for illness detection, treatment, and management. Solutions can take the form of an app, a website, a simulation, a system, or an algorithm. A central aspect of this hackathon is the integration of AI to assist in building impactful solutions, thereby lowering technical barriers for beginners with ambitious project ideas. Evaluation will focus on creativity, feasibility, technical depth, clinical insight, and the potential for real-world impact. While open to students from all countries/territories (excluding standard exceptions), companies and professional organizations are explicitly excluded from participation. The event emphasizes a beginner-friendly, low/no-code, and open-ended approach, welcoming a diverse range of technical skills and ideas.
What to build
Meaningful technical products in AI and healthcare that solve real-world problems. Projects can be an app, a website, a simulation, a system, or an algorithm. Hardware components are allowed if a coding component is present. Participants are encouraged to use AI to help build solutions.
