The finals, held on December 5 at the Walkerhill Hotel Arcadia in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, featured 20 teams that passed the preliminary round, along with Choi Sunghwan, Head of Business at SK Networks and NamuX EA, as well as SK Intelecs executives. Participants experienced the innovative technology and real service environment of NamuX, the world's first wellness robot, and presented a variety of ideas and feasible solutions.

The hackathon, a portmanteau of "hacking" and "marathon," is an intensive development event where innovative ideas are quickly turned into prototypes. Applications for this competition began in September, and the event was held under the theme of "AI-based Hyper-Personalized Wellness Service Ideas."

At the awards ceremony, "Eum," which proposed a hyper-personalized wellness care service for the emotional, health, and safety needs of seniors and people with chronic diseases, won the grand prize. "NamuX Together" received the Excellence Award, while "Giving NAMUH" and "Rootive" each won the Outstanding Award.

An SK Intelecs representative said, "Through this competition, we once again confirmed the diverse expansion possibilities of the innovative technology and services of NamuX, the world's first wellness robot," adding, "We will further accelerate technological innovation by developing the creative ideas presented by the participants."
