This entire class was dedicated to an entrepreneurial challenge. The class was split up into groups and each group had about 40 minutes to come up with a new idea/concept that would integrate technology (somehow)...the idea had to be presented in 3 slides to the class. The catch is that each slide would advance in 40 sec. The pressure was on.
My group came up with an application that would project out the benefits/risks to your body of certain types of behavior. For example, how would it improve my health if I ate an apple everyday for the next 6 months? How about if someone quit smoking -- what would his/her lungs look like? The concept is designed to be informative for sure, and also could be a motivator for people looking to improve their health, lose weight, etc.
Initially the app would be offered direct to consumers for a fee, but eventually we would partner with a company like Jenny Craig or Lifetime Fitness...that's where the big $$$ would surface.
The class had some good ideas, but our team won. So apparently the class liked the idea. Dorothy seems very interested in making this idea happen, so I look forward to using it someday if she decides to run with it!
