During the hackathon, student teams will use data from the All of Us Research Program, a large national health dataset, to design innovative solutions that support precision medicine and personalized healthcare.

Participants will explore challenges such as:

• Managing massive and complex healthcare datasets
• Designing tools and workflows for secure and efficient data use
• Addressing fairness and bias in predictive health models
• Developing scalable solutions for healthcare data analysis

How It Works

Students will work in teams of 3–5 participants to identify a challenge within the dataset and develop a proposed solution.

Teams may:

• Build a software prototype
• Design a data architecture or engineering workflow
• Propose new methods, tools, or best practices for working with large healthcare datasets
• At the conclusion of the hackathon, teams will present their solutions to a panel of judges, and top teams will receive prizes.

Judging Criteria

Projects will be evaluated based on:

• Understanding of the problem and quality of insights
• Alignment with personalized healthcare goals
• Potential impact of the solution
• Usability and practicality
• Scalability and adaptability
