The event celebrated groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) solutions designed to improve healthcare. The competition, which launched in November 2024 and concluded in December, attracted 57 applicants. After a rigorous selection process, 10 finalists were shortlisted with three teams emerging as winners. Participants were challenged to develop an AI Health Coach, a tool designed to analyse health data, lifestyle habits, and risk factors to provide personalised guidance that encourages healthier living. The goal was to create AI-driven solutions that address both physical and mental health challenges, aligning with Botswana’s broader digital transformation agenda.
