Digital Twin Challenge 2026

The future of medicine is proactive, not reactive. At the upcoming Happiest Health Reimagining and Reforming Healthcare in India Summit - 2026, Bengaluru, we are exploring the frontiers of digital health, focusing heavily on the concept of the Digital Twin. A Digital Twin in healthcare is a dynamic, virtual replica of a patient, constantly updated with real-time data from wearables, paired with Electronic Health Records (EHR). By simulating a patient’s unique physiology, it can predict adverse health events before they happen and personalize treatment protocols.

We are inviting the brightest minds from India's top university incubators to build the foundational prototypes of this future. We challenge student teams to build a proof-of-concept (PoC) Digital Twin Model focused on predicting a specific, localized health outcome.

Because building a complete, whole-body Digital Twin is beyond the scope of a short-term project, teams must select one specific chronic or lifestyle condition prevalent in India (e.g., Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, or Cardiovascular risk).

Eligibility

Open to students interested in AI, healthcare, data science and digital health, including students from relevant technical, medical and interdisciplinary backgrounds.

Team Formation Guidelines:

• A team will consist of 1-4 students, and the one who registers the team will be the team leader.

• Inter-college and interdisciplinary teams can participate.

• Only full-time students can participate.

• All the team members are required to verify and confirm their details to form a team.

• There is no restriction on the number of individuals/teams from an institute.

• Modification of team post registration will not be allowed.

• Two members from each of the finalist teams will need to travel to Bengaluru to present their solution in front of an audience at the summit. (Happiest Health will sponsor travel and stay)

Phases of the Challenge:

Phase 1 - Prototype & Code Submission

• The teams build their Digital Twin proof-of-concept and submit the completed project with required documentation as specified in the submission guidelines below under GitHub repository.

• Submitted solutions are evaluated by the technical and expert panel. Top 5 teams will be finalized by the jury, and an email communication will be sent to top 5 shortlisted team by Happiest Health

The prototype must successfully demonstrate the fusion of two data streams:

• Static/Historical data: Simulated…
