​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.
