Each team or solo participant must submit the following through Devpost before the submission deadline:

• Project name
• Team members
• 2–3 sentence description identifying the healthcare problem, intended users, and proposed solution
• Working demo OR a demo video of up to 2 minutes showing the prototype’s core functionality
• Link to the code repository (GitHub or similar), with basic instructions for running or reviewing the project

Optional:

• Slide deck (3–5 slides max)
• Live hosted demo

• A clearly defined healthcare challenge relevant to Puerto Rico or the Caribbean
• A working prototype that demonstrates the proposed solution, even if simple
• Thoughtful use of tools and technology appropriate to the problem
• Practical value, usability, and a realistic path to implementation
• Responsible handling of data, privacy, and the solution’s limitations

• Use synthetic, public, or organizer-approved datasets that contain no identifiable patient information. Do not include real patient records, confidential information, or credentials in your submission, repository, or demo.

• Not transferable. A prize is awarded only to the winning participant or team as registered. It may not be assigned, exchanged or substituted.
• Payment timing. If the prize includes a payment (grant, sponsorship, scholarship, donation as determined by us), winners are expected to receive payment within 30 to 60 days of the award announcement.
• Payment method. The organizers choose the method of payment, which may be check, ACH, wire transfer, cash or any other method the organizers prefer.
• Forfeiture. A participant or team that declines the prize, or does not accept it, forfeits it. No substitute is given.
• No endorsement and no future commitment. Awarding a prize is not an endorsement, sponsorship, certification or approval of the winner, the team or its project. It creates no obligation to provide additional funding, investment, mentorship, contracts or support of any kind, and no future commitment of any nature between the organizers and the winner.

• Participants are solely responsible for the product, solution, code and content they create and present. The organizers, sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers and the venue assume no responsibility or liability for any project submitted. Each participant and team agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the organizers, sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers and the venue from any claim, loss, damage or expense arising out of the project they created, including its use, deployment, data handling or intellectual property.

• Additional terms, rules or instructions may apply and take effect when announced by the organizers.
