An all-women hackathon designed to convene and empower female innovators from technology, healthcare, and business sectors.

Overarching Theme: "Predictive Models for Women’s Health: Building AI-Powered Care Templates."

Primary Goal

To challenge participants to develop functional, AI-driven "Care Templates" that integrate predictive analytics, evidence-based treatment pathways, real-time inventory management, and transparent financial modeling. 

The objective

To create holistic solutions that support healthcare providers and improve patient outcomes for cervical cancer and ovarian cysts.

Requirements

Target Participant Profile: An all-women cohort comprising multi-disciplinary experts:

  • AI/ML Engineers: To develop and train the core predictive models.

  • Software Developers (Backend/Frontend): To build the functional prototype and user interface for the Care Template.

  • Healthcare Professionals (Gynecologists, Oncologists, Nurses, Public Health Specialists): To ensure clinical accuracy, guideline adherence, and user-centricity.

  • Finance & Supply Chain Experts: To design and integrate the cost estimation and inventory tracking modules.

  • Track 1: Cervical Cancer Risk Prediction & Care Coordination

    1. Prediction Engine: An AI model that stratifies a patient's risk for cervical cancer.

    2. Personalized Scheduling: Automatically recommends screening schedules (e.g., Pap smear, HPV test) based on individual risk profiles and Kenyan national guidelines.

    3. Inventory Integration: Tracks the real-time availability of essential screening and diagnostic tools (e.g., HPV test kits, colposcopes, biopsy supplies) at linked health facilities.

    4. Financial Transparency: Provides patients and providers with an estimated cost for the recommended diagnostic and treatment pathway, and connects patients to potential financing options.

    5. Challenge: Develop an AI-powered system that analyzes patient risk factors (e.g., demographic data, lifestyle, clinical history, HPV status) to predict cervical cancer risk and generate an optimal, evidence-based care pathway.

    6. Required Features:

 

  • Track 2: Ovarian Cyst Growth & Treatment Prediction

    1. Prediction Engine: An AI model that uses patient data (e.g., cyst size/type from ultrasound results, hormonal levels, symptoms) to predict cyst behavior (e.g., likelihood of growth, resolution, or malignancy).

    2. Clinical Decision Support: Recommends a management plan (e.g., watchful waiting, medication, surgical intervention) based on the prediction and aligned with established clinical guidelines.

    3. Inventory Integration: Tracks the real-time availability of necessary resources, such as specific medications or surgical tools required for the recommended treatment plan.

    4. Financial Transparency: Generates clear cost estimations for the proposed management or treatment plan and provides information on financing options.

    • Challenge: Develop a predictive model that helps clinicians assess the potential progression of ovarian cysts, suggest appropriate management plans, and integrate corresponding inventory and financial data.

    • Required Features:

Judging Criteria

  • What a Winning Solution Looks Like
    Judging will assess real-world impact, clinical relevance, technical innovation, UX, and how well prediction, guidance, inventory & finance are integrated. Feasibility in low-resource settings and scalability will also be key.
