Objective
Enable students, researchers, and early-stage startups to:
Build TRL-8-ready sensor systems with sensor budget under ₹4,000.
Implement complete TRL-8 testing: calibration, drift, field tests, and uptime.
Document reproducible data, hardware diagrams, and firmware pipelines.
Create scalable solutions that can later integrate Indian sensor chips seamlessly.
Themes
Breathe Safe
Respiratory monitoring system using pressure and temperature sensors

Resources
Your hackathon journey just got easier — access all the key resources you need to succeed.
Students, researchers, and startups (up to 2 years old) across India are eligible. Teams must consist of 1 to 3 members.
What types of sensors are allowed?
Any commercially available sensor under ₹4,000 per unit may be used. Suggested sensors include pressure, temperature, humidity, PPG, and bio-impedance types.
Can I participate solo?
Yes, individual participation is allowed, though teams of up to 3 are encouraged for collaborative learning and project scaling.
What is TRL-8 and why is it important?
TRL-8 (Technology Readiness Level 8) indicates a system that has been tested and validated in a real-world environment, just before commercialization. Achieving TRL-8 ensures your prototype is robust, well-documented, and field-ready.
What are the prizes?
Top 3 teams will receive awards at the ELCIA Tech Summit and get a chance to feature in the Sensor Readiness Showcase. Select teams may also receive product incubation support at ELCIA’s tech hub.
What happens after the hackathon?
Selected teams may be guided to scale their prototypes into market-ready products, and their datasets and test benches will contribute to validating future Indian-made sensors.
