I’m sharing my journey in this post — from idea to last-minute submission, everything I learned, and how it helped me grow as a builder. If you're into AI, Python, or hackathons, this one's for you. The Problem: How can we use GenAI to support elderly individuals in managing their health, daily routines, and emergencies? With rising concerns about elderly safety and independence, I found this challenge both meaningful and technically interesting.
