2024 IEEE CIS
STUDENT GRAND COMPETITION
Computational Intelligence in Biomedicine and Healthcare
The Challenge
With the development of the computational intelligence (CI) methods, novel applications including smart medicine, smart healthcare and smart hospital attract more and more attention in research, society, and industry.
CI/AI technology has played a significant role to assist medical professionals and their patients.
This hackathon looks forward to an CI/AI-driven tribute to smart medicine.
We welcome participants to present computational intelligence solutions for core issues in smart medicine, smart healthcare and smart hospital including but not limited to personalized, predictive, preventive and participatory medicine and healthcare solutions.
In the hackathon, we would like to address how CI/AI techniques can help the modern hospitals and humans with new and different approaches, and how CI/AI will change medicine/healthcare in the future.
Developers of all backgrounds and skill sets are welcome to join this hackathon.
The choice of technology is optional.
We are waiting for your participation.
