Hackathons

40 highly motivated hackers showed how much creativity and drive they have from 26 to 28.11.24. But they were not alone. But they were not alone: they were supported by the COREVAS GmbH & Co KG team, over 100 community members, 12 partner companies, 150+ exhibitors and over 3000+ trade fair visitors.

The highlights:
Impressive results and innovative solutions that will help shape the future of crisis and emergency management. An atmosphere of collaboration, inspiration and networking that is rarely experienced.

And best of all, there were only winners in the end!

Over 100 international participants from renowned universities and various companies registered for the sixth 48-hour innovation marathon at the Nürburgring. With the support of four first-class coaches and the use of state-of-the-art technologies such as drones, smart glasses, AI and VR, innovative solutions were developed for the topic of “Smart Service 5.0”. The FUTURE FORUM was also held for the first time, where current trends, challenges and the future of EmergencyEye® technology were discussed in depth. An inspiring weekend full of innovation and collaboration!

In the links below you can find the official video of the HACKATHONAMRING®2024 as well as a summary of the ideas and results of the individual teams.

From November 28 to 30, 2023, 36 hackers, supported by 130 COMMUNITY members, met to develop innovative solutions for AI-supported effective crisis management. Amazing prototypes and solutions were developed within 48 hours. An independent jury consisting of 36 PMRExpo visitors evaluated the innovations and selected the winner.

Results and descriptions are linked below.

Sprint at the SPELL@hackathonamring.
We have taken on the challenge of capturing live mobile image data to better assess situations and have made tremendous progress.

Goals achieved:

Drone live video transmissions on EmEye-T® and drawing images as a prototype.
Sharing sessions with experts as a prototype.

Prototypes presented:

• Smart Service Assistant, the app for virtually guided inspections.
• GreenBot, the most user-friendly interface for sustainability databases, which improves the perception for sustainable decisions.
• “Vocal Eye” is an AI-based add-on for emergency services and dispatchers that helps them make quick, critical decisions by analyzing and enriching data from a call.
• Steel Team Six presented its software, which provides an overview, classification and up-to-date status information on operational, crisis and danger areas to ensure the fastest and best possible assistance.
• The Lunchables made the invisible visible.

The 3rd HACKATHONAMRING® was the first event in which deaf people took part.
The aim was to develop an emergency call technology that enables deaf people to call the emergency services via 112.

Target achieved:

• Chat with translation for the “multilingual” emergency call service developed as a prototype.

More than 200 international hackers from India, the Philippines, Spain, Romania, Benelux, Poland, England, Germany, Costa Rica and Houston (Texas) took part in the first two HACKATHONAMRING® events.

In a 48-hour and a 24-hour programming marathon in February and March 2018, the programmers worked, sometimes without sleep, on solutions for the care of people in acute cardiac arrest.

In this short time, the teams not only developed new codes, but also the first functioning prototype of EmergencyEye®.

These first two events were supported by EIT Health, an initiative of the EU Commission.
