Hello OpenMRS Community! The momentum from our AI Squad calls is officially turning into action! Coordinated by a joint effort between the OpenMRS AI Squad and EMR4All, we are officially counting down to the global, virtual **[OpenMRS AI Hackathon 2026](https://emr4all.zoholandingpage.eu/oaihackathon/)** taking place online this July. Whether you have been experimenting with local edge models, streamlining code workflows with AI agents or building advanced clinical decision tools, itโ€™s time to move your innovations to the community stage. To help our community Voting Panel evaluate, compare and identify scale-ready solutions, **all project contributors must submit their technical specs and video demos by June 20.** ๐Ÿ‘‰ **[CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE SUBMISSION FORM](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrXp1wZDIRGZC1xsmnIVhL5G85RldkOldqD6dp3TfyhERedA/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=100467535657936958137)** ### โณ Key Dates & Strict Deadlines - **Project Submission Deadline:** Saturday, June 20, 2026 (11:59 PM UTC) - **Live Hackathon Sessions:** July 06 โ€“ 08, 2026 (2 hours of daily live sessions) > โš  **Important:** The submission portal will close automatically on June 20.

Open Source etc.). 4. **Infrastructure Requirements:** Connectivity needs (100% Offline, Hybrid, Cloud Dependent) and the minimum clinic-level hardware needs. 5. **Community Impact Statement:** A short write-up (max 250 words) explaining why the community should adopt or consider scaling your solution. ### ๐Ÿš€ Next Steps 1. Head over to the **[Official AI Hackathon Landing Page](https://emr4all.zoholandingpage.eu/oaihackathon/)** to book your free tickets for the event. 2. Polish your working prototypes and record your 3โ€“5 minute video demos. 3.
