2nd Place — OpenMRS x EMR4ALL AI Hackathon 2026

OpenMRS LiveKit

An offline-capable stack that transcribes and translates a consultation on the spot. Audio never has to leave the site, and the workflow assumes a clinician reviews the output before it is used.

Why It Won — our reading

Working offline is the constraint that determines everything else here. Once you assume a site where connectivity cannot be taken for granted, sending audio to an external API stops being an option - and the clinical requirement that a patient's voice never leaves the premises is met by the same decision. One constraint answers two demands. Assuming a clinician reviews the output before it is relied on is the right caution for anything touching a consultation.

This is our own analysis based on the official announcement and the project's own materials. It is not the organizer's stated reasoning.
