Healthon
The software engineering department at CUST is conducting the hackathon on Friday and Saturday, March 17-18, 2023. The main event in the CUST hackathon will be the “HealthOn” competition. “HealthOn” will focus on health-related issues in the modern world.
“HealthOn” event will give participants the chance to design a system to address health-related issues using the newest tools and technologies, such as Python, machine learning, IoT, etc. Any IoT-based related hardware, such as microcontrollers, sensors, smart watches, and smartphones, may be used by the participants.
Evaluation criteria
The resulting system needs to satisfy the following criteria, and the evaluation will be done based on the quality measure of those criteria.
The scope of the problem for which the system has been designed. (Problem statement)
How simple it is for the user to use and comprehend (HCI and UI)
How effective is the designed system (in terms of accurate results)?
How efficient is the designed system (in terms of processing time)?
How novel is the design of the system?
How code is managed (Git Hub, bit bucket)
How clean and easy to understand the code is (comments)
