Handbook for ASEAN AI Buildathon - Healthcare Reimagined

Welcome Builders! This handbook is your go-to guide for navigating the hackathon and building a bold AI prototype that can transform Malaysia’s healthcare system.


Key Technical Resources

  • AI & Cloud APIs: Explore popular generative AI APIs like OpenAI GPT, Hugging Face models, Google Cloud AI, or AWS AI services.
  • Development Platforms: Use cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Azure, or Heroku for backend deployment.
  • Frontend Frameworks: React, Vue.js, or Flutter can help you build intuitive UIs quickly.
  • Data Sources: Since no official datasets are provided, consider:
  • Public healthcare datasets (WHO, Kaggle, Huggingface)
  • Synthetic data generators
  • Web scraping (ensure compliance with terms)
  • Simulated patient data

Best Practices for Building & Demoing

  • Start Simple: Build an MVP focusing on core functionality before adding bells and whistles.
  • User Experience Matters: Design a clean, intuitive UI that impresses judges.
  • Leverage Generative AI: Use large language models or vision models to add intelligence.
  • Collaborate & Communicate: Join the mandatory WhatsApp channel to find teammates and get mentor support.
  • Prepare Your Pitch: Your 5-minute demo and 30-60 second video should clearly explain the problem, your solution, and its impact.
  • Code & Documentation: Maintain a public GitHub repo with clear README and setup instructions.
