Overview
📍 Academic Building East Room 4450
📅 March 7
⏰ 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM
GreyHacks is a one-day innovation sprint hosted by Rutgers Grey Matter Society focused on building impactful solutions at the intersection of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, medical technology, and health equity.
Participants will work in teams or individually to prototype ideas that address real challenges in brain health, medical systems, and neurotechnology. This is a fast-paced, collaborative environment designed for students from technical and non-technical backgrounds.
Whether you are interested in AI models for diagnosis, wearable neurotech, quantitative health analytics, or socially driven healthcare solutions, this hackathon provides structured tracks to guide your innovation.
Requirements
What to Build
Build a project aligned with one of the official tracks:
- AI for Medicine
Machine learning models, diagnostic tools, predictive analytics, clinical decision support systems, or AI applications designed to improve healthcare delivery and medical outcomes. - Health Data & Quantitative Modeling
Data-driven approaches to healthcare systems and public health. This includes statistical modeling, epidemiological analysis, healthcare forecasting, risk modeling, and quantitative analysis of medical data. - Health Equity
Projects addressing disparities in healthcare access, mental health support, neurological care gaps, or systemic barriers in healthcare. Submissions may include prototypes, research proposals, or implementation frameworks.
Projects may be software, research-driven prototypes, or structured proposals, depending on the track. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged.
All core work must be completed during the hackathon (March 7, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM).
Team Size
Teams of 1-4 participants.
What to Submit
Each team must submit:
- Project title and short description
-
2–3 minute demo video
-
