Healthcare AI

SmartTriage - ER Scheduling Optimizer (Healthcare Tech)

Build an algorithm that assigns ER patients to three doctors (TRAUMA, CARDIO, GENERAL) and decides treatment order over time. Each patient has a severity level, required specialization, and treatment duration, while each doctor can handle only one patient at a time.

Your objective is to simulate the ER timeline and minimize Total ER Risk, where risk increases when high-severity patients wait longer. Lower total risk means a better schedule.

SmartSettle - Payment Routing and Settlement Optimizer (Fintech)

Design a routing and scheduling algorithm that sends transactions to FAST, STANDARD, or BULK channels, each with different latency, fee, and capacity limits.

The goal is to minimize Total System Cost by balancing channel fees, delay penalties (based on amount and wait time), and large penalties for missed deadlines. Better solutions keep settlement timely while staying cost-efficient.
