I. Overview

The HERwin Hackathon is a collaborative competition organized by the IEEE WIE EPS Student Affinity Group and the IEEE WIE ISIMM Student Affinity Group. This event focuses on creating technical and social solutions for the post-partum period, supporting new mothers through the critical first 30 days after delivery.

II. The Challenge

Participants are invited to develop innovative prototypes that address the physical, emotional, and social hurdles of early motherhood. Solutions should aim to:

• Minimize Mental Load: Innovative tracking and reminder systems.

• Enhance Newborn Care: Simple, accessible guidance tools for daily routines.

• Support Mental Well-being: Systems to detect stress or connect users with psychological resources.

• Build Support Networks: Bridging the gap between mothers, caregivers, and professionals.

III. What to Expect

• Technical Innovation: Use of AI, IoT, Web, or Mobile applications to solve real-world health challenges.

• Collaborative Environment: A joint effort between two dynamic WIE Affinity Groups.

• Mentorship & Evaluation: Projects will be judged on social impact, innovation, technical feasibility, and user experience
