*For 1st Place Projects, we would like you to find a unique dataset for more impactful and innovative projects and results.

Alzheimer’s remains one of the most complex and devastating neurodegenerative diseases — with slow onset, heterogeneous progression, and limited treatment options.
In this hackathon, you’ll use real, de-identified biomedical data to build machine learning models that support early detection, progression forecasting, or interpretability of Alzheimer’s Disease risk.

Our goal: make serious computational health innovation accessible to every motivated high school or undergraduate student, no lab or insider network required.

Hack4Health democratizes computational medicine by giving students access to authentic biomedical datasets, pragmatic tooling, and strong mentorship.

1 PDF report (2–3 pages max) describing problem framing, methods, and evaluation
