A team of undergraduates from the Department of Computer Engineering, University of Peradeniya, emerged as champions of the Agentic AI phase at IDEALIZE 2026, an island-wide mobile application and web development competition organized by AIESEC in the University of Moratuwa. The final presentations took place on 20 September 2026 at the CIMA Auditorium. The organizers received more than 1,700 initial registrations across the event, with 11 teams reaching the Agentic AI phase finals.

The team won with OrthoPAR, a clinical decision-support platform designed to assist orthodontists with Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scoring. PAR scoring is traditionally carried out by manually measuring dental models. OrthoPAR aims to streamline this process: clinicians can upload 3D intraoral scans, and a TensorFlow model identifies anatomical landmarks used to calculate weighted PAR scores. The platform also stores assessments so clinicians can review treatment progress over time.

OrthoPAR’s AI clinical agent adds written summaries of the scoring results, flags components that may need attention, and provides information for clinician review. The team designed the system so that AI-generated measurements and summaries are checked by a qualified clinician before clinical use.

The team comprised Imaadh M. I. M., Chandrawansha P. G. D. D., Dakshayani R. , and Victor D. A. 

Congratulations to the team on this achievement. Their work demonstrates how software and AI can be applied to a practical clinical workflow while keeping professional judgment central to its use.
