The Detroit Urban Health AI Challenge returns for its third year to UDM’s McNichols Campus, bringing together students, faculty, community organizations and professionals to tackle real-world challenges using artificial intelligence.
This year’s theme–Aging Well–focuses on how artificial intelligence can support healthy aging, resilience and quality of life across communities.
Teams will explore AI solutions that help people thrive at every stage of life, in areas such as:
- Aging in place and independent living
- Mental health, social connection and loneliness
- Care coordination and caregiver support
- Chronic disease management and wellness
- Community access, equity and inclusion
Teams are asked to submit concepts in advance (no prototype required). Submission deadline is March 30.
Participants will work in interdisciplinary teams, receive mentorship and finalists will be selected to present their ideas in the live pitch competition on Friday, April 10, from 5-9 p.m., in Room 114 of the Chemistry Building. The evening includes prizes, food and networking with campus and community partners. Students, faculty, mentors and sponsors are invited to participate.
