The Gemma 4 Good Hackathon offers a Main Track ($50K 1st prize) and four Special Technology Prizes ($10K each), plus a LiteRT Special Tech Prize ($10K). Per Section 2.5 of the rules, projects are eligible for both a Main Prize AND a Special Tech Prize. JemmaPass is engineered for maximum overlap.
The grand prize for the most impactful Gemma 4 Good project
Why JemmaPass wins this track. Three factors compound. First, the impact surface is genuinely universal — pilgrims, travelers, refugees, disaster volunteers, rural elderly. Second, the video narrative spans Belgium 🇧🇪 and Japan 🇯🇵 with a Hollywood-grade dramatic arc: peaceful pilgrimage → earthquake → SOS → killer Augmentin moment → life saved. Third, the technical depth is genuinely novel: nobody else fuses Gemma 4 + HL7 IPS R4 + Nearby Mesh into a single offline-native Android artifact.
Best project advancing clinical, biomedical, or scientific applications
Why JemmaPass wins this track. This is the clearest fit. Three production-grade clinical features distinguish JemmaPass from chatbot-grade health AI:
Best project building resilience to disasters, climate, or system failures
Why JemmaPass wins this track. Disaster resilience is the founding premise.
Best project advancing access to AI for underserved populations
Digital equity at every layer.
Best project showcasing the LiteRT on-device runtime
Deepest LiteRT integration in the field.
Per Section 2.5 of the Competition Rules, a single project can win 1 Main Prize + 1 Special Technology Prize. Below is the realistic payout matrix.
| Combo | Likelihood | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 Main 1st + 🏥 Health & Sciences | Best fit — clinical depth is the strongest moat | $60,000 |
| 🥇 Main 1st + ⚙️ LiteRT | Strong technical fit — 49 @Tool is unmatched | $60,000 |
| 🥇 Main 1st + 🌍 Global Resilience | Story fit — Noto 2024 origin is compelling | $60,000 |
| 🥈 Main 2nd + 🏥 Health & Sciences | Solid fallback if main is highly contested | $35,000 |
| 🏥 Health & Sciences (only) | Conservative floor — clinical depth alone | $10,000 |
