It’s a two-week online hackthon that will allow teams to compete by using technology in order to combat the viral outbreak. The hackathon will gather hundreds of software developers and data scientists from around the world to fight against the novel coronavirus, using publicly available datasets and algorithms to come up with relevant solutions. We'll provide you with all the resources and mentors you need to help you work on something ground-breaking.
Find a candidate drug (ligand) with a high binding affinity with the COVID-19 main protease.
A few studies have shown that HIV antivirals offer promising results, but this is still an open field of discovery.
Finding a new drug or validating an existing drug are both suitable approaches.
Build web-based or mobile apps to help nations cope with the outbreak.
WHO has outlined key actions for managing pandemics; testing, tracking, tracing, isolation and quarantine. Governments around the world are applying these key actions to cope with the spread of disease but appear to be inadequate with the scale of the outbreak. We as individuals can play a substantial role in combating this outbreak. With the help of modern technologies, we can realise these actions effectively.
Developing a tool targeted for government, authorities, communities, and individuals are all acceptable. Teams with the winning prototype will automatically get a “wildcard” placement in Sunway iLab’s Super Accelerator program to realise the prototype at scale!
We understand that we all have different levels of skills and experience. We have teamed up with couple of experienced mentors to cater to participants of all skill and experience levels. Reach out to our mentors if you have any question to ask in our live session agenda. Note that the agenda are still subject to change, and we might end the session earlier if there are no longer questions.
