As the clock wound down, participants delivered their final answers to a panel of judges—including Dyania leadership. The competition was fierce, with standout answers offering innovative training of medical datasets for use in AI solutions.
A gastroenterologist was declared the winner, by vote of the esteemed judges. Their accuracy rate was 80.9%, which was the closest that any participant came to beating Synapsis AI (with an accuracy rate of over 95.7%).
Celebrating success & looking ahead
The grand prize was a brand new iPad, with second place (80% accuracy) and third place (79.1% accuracy) winners receiving gift cards. Every participant left with something invaluable—new connections and real-world problem-solving experience.
