Operation Ward Zero

About the hackathon

Build a Hospital That Fits Inside a Bedroom About the Hackathon: What if a patient's bedroom could function like a smart hospital ward? Hospitals have monitoring systems, trained healthcare professionals, and alert mechanisms to detect changes in patient conditions. At home, however, patients often depend on family members and caregivers who may not have access to continuous monitoring or early-warning systems. Operation Ward Zero is an online healthcare technology hackathon inviting innovators, developers, and problem-solvers to design intelligent home healthcare solutions. Participants will develop a working prototype demonstrating how IoT simulation, full-stack applications, and AI/ML can work together to monitor patient conditions, identify potential risks, and support timely caregiver responses. The central mission is: Sense → Understand → Predict → Alert → Respond Participants are encouraged to develop practical, affordable, scalable, and user-friendly solutions that address real-world home healthcare challenges. No physical hardware is required. Participants may use simulated sensors, synthetic patient data, mock devices, and software-based environments. Eligibility Criteria: Open to students, recent graduates, aspiring developers, and technology enthusiasts interested in healthcare innovation. Participants from engineering, computer science…
