Past winners in related hackathons

Winner-badged projects from ended Devpost hackathons that share a theme with this one. Read a few before you pick an idea.

• Rounds — Pre-flight for house-call veterinarians. (LOCALHOST 2.0)
• AI study assistant — A web app where students upload a pdf or lecture notes and the system can summarise the document, generate notes and create power points slides for their studies. (Nairobi Hack Day)
• LookCloser — A multi-agent safety net for incidental imaging findings, because 1 in 5 follow-ups never happen, and no rule engine can read a visit note to know why. (Agents Assemble - The Healthcare AI Endgame)
• Extraction of LVEF from medical chart text — We extract an essential measure of heart failure patients from medical charts, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Accurate LVEF data would lead to improved patient care and hospital revenue. (AWS Health AI Hackathon)

• Veterinary Care Continuity Agent — Post-op veterinary follow-up, automated but not autonomous: Claude structures the notes and the owner conversation; deterministic rules decide escalation; the vet stays the clinical decision-maker. (LOCALHOST 2.0)
• LoopGuard Passport — Governed Clinical Loop Closure — Prevent the diagnostic harm that begins the moment a follow-up falls silent. (Agents Assemble - The Healthcare AI Endgame)
• Bone Health Tracker — 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 years and 1 in 5 men will experience osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime. Bone Health Tracker will help them monitor their bone health and track their treatments. (AWS Health AI Hackathon)
