<aside> 🎯 The Challenge

</aside>

Participants should aim to:

1. Identify ****an unmet need within the healthcare domain.
2. Propose and validate a proof-of-concept solution that utilise recent advances in generative AI, including large language models (or, more generally, foundation models) and probabilistic generative models.
   1. Solutions should solve a clearly-defined problem, be innovative and impactful, and show potential for commercialisation. Note that that solutions don’t need to be a complete solution to a problem but they do need to align well to a specific problem and show potential for scaling up technically.
   2. More details are available in the next sections covering the final pitch to our judges, example projects, example datasets, and example foundation models for healthcare.

Forming teams:

• Teams will form on Saturday morning following an ideas pitch.
• Ideas pitch: if you have an idea, take to the mic and do a short 1 minute pitch to the room! Don't be shy! Even seemingly small ideas could transform into something big after some discussion!
• After the ideas pitch, get chatting and form teams. You will have 20 minutes to form teams. Keep teams small and agile.
