Congratulations to Lim Ying Qian and Team on Being Recognised Among the Top 10 Excellent Team at the ACTION Hackathon 2026

Congratulations to our BSc (Hons) Information Technology (Computer Networking and Security) student, Lim Ying Qian, and team for being recognised as one of the Top 10 Excellent Team at the ACTION Hackathon 2026, held as part of the 2026 Asian Climate-SDG Technology Innovation Hackathon for the Next Generation: Safeguarding Human Health in the Climate Crisis at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). The event was hosted by Tsinghua University with support from the Asian Universities Alliance (AUA), World Meteorological Organization (WMO), World Health Organization (WHO), and other regional partners.

 

The team members are:

CHEW FENG YING – Doctor of Medicine (MD)

LIM JOE MIN – Doctor of Medicine (MD)

TOH JUN TIAN – Doctor of Medicine (MD)

LEE JING – Doctor of Medicine (MD)

LIM YING QIAN – BSc (Hons) Information Technology (Computer Networking and Security)

 

Although the team did not advance to the final Top 5 winning teams, this achievement is nevertheless a significant accomplishment. They are grateful for the opportunity to represent Sunway University on an international platform and compete alongside students from leading universities around the world.

 

The interdisciplinary team, comprising four medical students and one student from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, developed an AI-powered platform designed to predict climate-driven disease outbreaks before they spread. The proposed solution delivers early warnings to both connected urban centres and offline rural communities through appropriate and accessible communication channels, helping to enhance preparedness and safeguard public health.

 

Being recognised among the Top 10 Excellent Team is a testament to the team's innovation, dedication, collaborative spirit, and commitment to addressing global challenges through technology.

 

Congratulations once again to Lim Ying Qian and the entire team on this outstanding achievement. We are proud of your accomplishment and look forward to your continued success.
