CHALLENGE STAGES
Stage 1 — Problem Selection & Ideation
Problem statements will be provided to all teams in advance. Each team must select any ONE problem statement and prepare an innovative solution based on the selected topic.
Stage 2 — Innovation Pitch
Teams will present their proposed solution using a prepared PPT within 5 minutes. The presentation should highlight the problem, proposed solution, innovation, technical concept, feasibility, and real-world applications.
Stage 3 — Judge’s Q&A
Teams will answer questions from the judges for 2 minutes to demonstrate their technical knowledge, problem-solving approach, feasibility, and practical impact.
CHALLENGE PROBLEM STATEMENTS
Select any ONE problem statement from the topics below to prepare your innovative technology solution:
Smart Contact Lens for Glucose Monitoring
How can we develop a non-invasive wearable system that monitors glucose levels through tear fluid and provides real-time health information without painful finger-prick testing?
AI-Powered Stethoscope for Rural Screening
How can we use AI and portable technology to help identify respiratory conditions such as pneumonia, asthma, and TB from lung sounds in areas with limited access to doctors?
Self-Stabilizing Spoon for Parkinson’s Patients
How can we design a smart spoon that reduces hand tremors while eating and simultaneously tracks tremor patterns to support better patient monitoring?
Menstrual Blood Diagnostic Pad
How can we transform a sanitary pad into a smart diagnostic platform capable of detecting useful health biomarkers from menstrual fluid at home?
Smart Posture Corrector with Muscle Stimulation
How can we develop a wearable device that detects prolonged poor posture and actively assists users in correcting it using feedback and controlled muscle stimulation?
Air-Quality Aware Smart Inhaler
How can we create a smart inhaler that combines real-time air-quality and allergen information with inhaler usage to warn asthma patients about potential environmental triggers?
pH-Sensing Wound Healing Bandage
How can we develop a smart wound dressing that monitors changes in wound pH and alerts the user or caregiver when the wound shows signs of abnormal healing?
Silent Heart Attack Detector During Sleep
How can wearable technology monitor physiological signals during sleep and identify abnormal cardiac patterns early enough to trigger an emergency alert?
Self-Screening Bra for Breast Abnormalities
How can we develop a wearable system that monitors changes in breast-region temperature patterns and provides an early warning for abnormalities requiring medical evaluation?
Swallow-Confirmation Smart Pill Box
How can we develop a smart medication system that goes beyond detecting whether a pill box was opened and verifies whether the patient actually swallowed the medication?
