• Health Impact (30%)
  How much could the project improve health outcomes for real people? Note a specific group of people it helps and a believable path to making a difference.
• Evidence & Feasibility (25%)
  Whether the idea is backed by real data or research, and whether it could work outside a hackathon. Cite your sources, and show that the approach is realistic and that you’ve thought about the obstacles in between.
• Originality (20%)
  How new or creative the approach is. This can be a fresh idea, a new angle on an already-known problem, or a clever way of combining things. It doesn’t need to be a brand-new invention.
• Execution (15%)
  How well the project is built and how much of it works. Include a working demo, a clean and usable design, and visible progress made during the event.
• Communication (10%)
  How clearly your demo video and judging time explain the project. A strong submission states the problem, shows the solution in action, and explains why it matters.
