Invent something that advances medicine and science. Biomedical devices, health-tech tools, laboratory instruments, pharmaceutical innovations — build real solutions for real problems in healthcare and scientific research.
PRIZES
TBA
APPLIED
Choose your domain — medicine, biology, or chemistry. Identify a real problem and define your invention approach.
Develop your invention — prototype, test, and refine. Build something that works with real materials, data, or code.
Demonstrate your solution to domain experts and judges. Show real results, live demos, and explain your methodology.
THE CHALLENGE
The APPLIED track is about invention in medicine and science. Design biomedical devices, build health-tech tools, create lab instruments, develop pharmaceutical innovations, or engineer scientific measurement systems. Tangible inventions with real-world impact on human health and scientific progress.
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
NO PROVIDED RESOURCES
Bring your own tools, materials, and expertise. No lab space, no equipment, no funding provided — build entirely on your own with accessible resources.
SKILLS NEEDED
Kickoff & Domain Intro
Track intro, dataset overview, team formation. Domain experts present problem statements.
Building Begins
10-week clock starts. Data cleaning, feature engineering, model development — go.
Mentor Check-ins
Scheduled sessions with ML engineers, healthcare researchers, and finance professionals.
Submission Deadline
Submit models, notebooks, and dashboards for evaluation. Leaderboard results announced.
Expo & Awards
Live demos, judges walkthrough. Winners announced at closing.
Medical devices, diagnostic tools, implantable systems, and therapeutic equipment for clinical care.
Scientific instruments, measurement tools, lab automation, and experimental apparatus for research.
Drug delivery systems, formulation technologies, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and quality control.
Wearables, remote monitoring, clinical software, and digital health platforms for patients and providers.
How novel is your invention? Does it address a genuine medical or scientific need with measurable impact?
Does your prototype actually work? Quality of design, materials, code, and engineering methodology.
Quality of research, experimental design, data collection, and validation of your approach.
Clarity of your demo, explanation of your invention, and ability to communicate its value to judges.
