The Mission: Deploy A Health App On Health Universe

Health Universe is designed with you — the researchers, data scientists, and clinicians — in mind.

We provide the cloud infrastructure & community collaboration you need to bring your research ideas to life. With our platform, you can easily create and deploy python apps, and we host them and make them available to anyone with an Internet connection 24/7.

The apps you develop can be accessed by researchers and clinicians right from their web browsers. Your solutions could play a key role in democratizing AI, accelerating innovation, and improving patient care all over the world. Think of the possibilities!

From advancing drug discovery and cancer research to analyzing population health, enhancing administrative workflows, crafting decision support systems, developing nutrition calculators, or designing wellness apps—your creativity is the only limit!

🎉 Prizes Galore

Winning teams not only gain recognition at our monthly demo day, featured on our website, and our social media accounts but also take home substantial cash prizes:
