Singapore Team ZNL Wins Tencent Cloud Hackathon with Psych-MAP
The standout detail is that a therapist with no coding background can encode clinical expertise directly into a working agent, which lowers the barrier for hospitals to adopt AI without waiting on engineering teams. Healthcare innovators, psychiatric institutions and hackathon organizers should watch how RFID-based behavioral data is used as a clinical signal. The win also signals Singapore's growing presence in Chinese platform ecosystems like Tencent Cloud, relevant to ASEAN teams weighing which cloud and agent toolchains to build on.
Singapore team ZNL won first prize in the Agent Track and the Best International Award at the 2026 Tencent Cloud Hackathon Global Finals, held on Shenzhen Penguin Island.
Their project, Psych-MAP, uses RFID wristbands to convert patient spatial movements such as bed rest, toileting and showering into recovery proxies for psychiatric care.
The system applies CodeBuddy to learn how senior clinicians question patients, surfacing details junior doctors may miss.
It combines clinical records with behavioral data while keeping humans as the final decision-maker, and lets a non-technical therapist build a clinic-ready psychiatric agent.
Dual Agent Champion: Singapore Brothers Redraw Psychiatric Recovery with AI
At the 2026 Tencent Cloud Hackathon Global Finals on Shenzhen Penguin Island, Singapore team ZNL won both the Agent Track first prize and the Best International Award with Psych-MAP. Built from a therapist's frontline pain point, the system uses RFID wristbands to turn spatial trails—bed rest, toileting, showering—into recovery proxies, and uses CodeBuddy to learn senior-clinician questioning, proactively surfacing information junior doctors may miss. It aggregates clinical records with behavioral data while keeping humans as the final decision-maker, forming a human-AI collaborative loop. A non-technical therapist can turn domain expertise into a clinic-ready psychiatric agent.
