The challenge behind the win

What should every UAE hospital have by 2031?

Forge 0 was MedHack’s founding online engineering challenge, held August 2–9, 2026. Twenty teams had one week to build a working software prototype for a real hospital problem, inspired by the “We the UAE 2031” vision.

What teams had to deliver

A working prototype, a proposal document explaining the problem and solution, a pitch deck, and a demonstration video of no more than seven minutes.

How the work was judged

A 50-point rubric covered problem understanding, innovation, technical execution, feasibility and impact, and presentation. The working prototype carried the most weight: 15 points.

Team Phoenix focused on medication reconciliation at discharge: turning conflicting records into one medicine list for a clinician to review. ReconMed was their answer.

The winning project

The problem
Medication records can disagree across sources. A manual reconciliation adds work to an already busy ward.
The approach
Compare lists, surface ranked findings with their sources, and keep each decision with the reviewing clinician.
The patient experience
Present the reviewed plan in English and Arabic, with explanations, dose reminders and follow-up prompts.

Prototype context: all patient data shown is fictional. The submission describes a demonstration with no real authentication or clinical deployment; its risk score is not clinically validated. The screenshots include a record-tampering demonstration. See the submission PDF for the team’s full reasoning, limitations and references.
