EvoTech in Design Challenge 2012

I think I work pretty hard with a demanding job at Jumptap, EvoTech in the evenings and weekends and being a new father. Then I met the 2012 System Design and Management (SDM) students in “boot camp” and was reminded that one can be even busier.

A team of SDM students worked on EvoTech in their design challenge 2 assignments. We asked them to focus on EvoCloud a telemedicine offering we want to pair with our endoscopy camera. They came up with interesting findings: possible NGOs to contact, connections to telemedicine player in India, evaluation of 3G coverage and quality in Africa, a mockup and a fresh look at a new market.

SDM from up on the bridge

I am taking the first spring semester as a long distance student in MIT's System Design and Managment (SDM) program. The long distance option, which I am grateful for, poses some challenges. A month into the semester, I am still trying to improve the interaction with the classroom, faculty and fellow students and maintain a balance between school and work. Setting up a work station I am using my home office (/living room /dining room/ guest sofa) from which I connect to the ‘bridge’. I find it useful to work with two screens. One displays the class, the mike controls and my video (I want to see how I appear to people looking at me from the classroom). The other displays the presentation slides and notebook (OneNote). The webcam is positioned above the main screen and when I look at the other screen, I am not facing the webcam. Class participation The video and sound quality are good. Material is always available before hand on the web. So keeping up with the studies is eas...
