Bengaluru, November 13, 2025 – The Fever Foundation of India, in collaboration with Micro Labs, has announced a groundbreaking AI-driven Hackathon aimed at accelerating innovation in fever diagnosis, prediction, and management and patient-centric fever care systems. This high-impact event is scheduled for November 15, 2025, at the Micro Knowledge Academy, Bengaluru, and forms a key precursor to the much-awaited 8th edition of FeFCon 2025 (Fever Foundation of India Conference), set to take place on November 29–30, 2025.
FeFCon, recognized as one of India’s most respected forums dedicated entirely to fever research and management, has consistently brought together leading clinicians, medical researchers, epidemiologists, AI innovators, and public health policymakers. The conference serves as a hub for discussing emerging patterns in fever outbreaks, reviewing advancements in treatment protocols, and exploring the role of technology in creating responsive, efficient, and patient-centric fever care systems.
This year, the introduction of the AI Hackathon marks a significant step toward integrating data science and digital health innovations into mainstream clinical practice. Designed as an immersive ideation and prototyping challenge, the Hackathon seeks to tap into the transformative power of artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, and predictive analytics to develop real-world solutions that can support early detection, efficient triaging, and remote management of fever cases.
With the theme “AI + Pharma = Smarter, Faster, Safer Healthcare,” the Hackathon encourages participating teams to develop solutions such as:
- Predictive fever outbreak models driven by real-time data
- AI-assisted clinical decision-support tools for faster diagnosis
- Digital fever helplines and patient triage systems
- Clinician dashboards integrated with temperature trends, vitals, and risk indicators
- Remote monitoring systems that offer personalized insights and follow-up recommendations
- Mobile and IoT-based fever trackers for rural and semi-urban populations
The initiative highlights how technology, when paired with pharmaceutical expertise, can address longstanding challenges in India’s public health ecosystem—particularly the lack of timely diagnosis, rising incidence of viral fevers, and gaps in rural healthcare delivery.
Speaking about the significance of this effort, Dr. Manjula Suresh, Sr. Vice President – Medical & Regulatory Affairs, Micro Labs Ltd, said:
“Artificial intelligence and automation are already reshaping the way we approach fever management—from predictive surveillance systems that identify outbreak trends to AI-based diagnostic tools that support faster, data-backed clinical decisions. The Hackathon builds on these advances by bringing together doctors, data scientists, and innovators to create practical innovations that can enhance public health systems and improve patient outcomes.”
Participants will undergo mentoring sessions with clinicians, AI experts, and public health specialists, ensuring their solutions are both technologically strong and clinically meaningful. The top-performing teams will receive cash prizes, recognition, and potential pilot opportunities with Micro Labs, enabling them to further test and refine their solutions in real-world environments.
The winning prototypes will also be showcased at FeFCon 2025, providing visibility to healthcare practitioners, government representatives, medical institutions, and industry leaders committed to advancing fever care and strengthening India’s digital health landscape.The Hackathon builds on these advances by bringing together doctors, data scientists, and innovators to create practical innovations that can enhance public health systems and improve patient outcomes .
