8A- Solving the Problem

- The idea that I have come up with is producing an app that can keep track of all your medical records, medications and symptoms. This app will allow you to automatically send your doctor files and share with them all your symptoms and medical history before the actual appointment. This app will be a "pre-appointment" application with a focus on communication between patient and doctor. Elderly people will have an easier time communicating with their doctors about medications and symptoms while younger adults will have an easier time communicating with doctors their medical history. Transferring hospitals and switching doctors will be much easier. The application will have a very simple feature where you just fill in your general medical history and medications. There will also be a feature where you start to fill in dates and symptoms as they appear. Once you fill all of this in, you can send the information directly to your doctor through email. The app will generate a report for the patient and the doctor. This report can also be sent to doctors’ offices before the patient visits. The annoying pre-appointment paperwork can be avoided this way. 

- There have been several medical apps made in the past however, none focus on this idea of communication with the doctor before the actual appointment. Once the patients start filling this form out they will be able to keep it for the rest of their lives. 

- This app will first be pitched to doctors and healthcare facilities and once they agree with will advertised to patients. 


- I want this app to be very user friendly and straight forward. There will be sections for medications, medical history and symptoms. Doctor's contact information will be easy to input.

27A- Reading Reflection No.3

The book I decided to read was the Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawasaki. I have read this book twice now because this book is a required reading for one of my advertising classes. What I loved the most about this book was Guy’s way of making everything so easy for any reader to understand. His step by step understanding of social media makes it appealing for everyone. What I admired the most was Guy’s ability to bring in emotion to social media. His idea of being thankful, it reminded me that I should never steal someone’s work or words and I should always tag people to their original work. I also really liked how his book was made to be a fast and easy read. Guy believes in the power of social media and all he wants is to help his readers. The book did not really go into the adversities of Guy but he did mention that he has put in years to understand social media like he does now. I appreciate his grit and willingness to stick with it. His passion has m...

21A- Reading Reflection No. 2

General Theme: The book that I read was Inbound Marketing by Brian Halligan. This book was an easy read for me because I am an advertising major and I learn about this a lot in class. Halligan focused his book on describing the customer driven marketing method of inbound marketing. He started by explaining how the changing technological world has changed the world of marketing forever. Old methods such as push marketing is outdated and consumers now only respond to pull and inbound marketing. Halligan argued that inbound marketing is the best way to market your product because it is customer driven rather than product driven. The book focuses on creating content that the customer will be attracted to and that the marketing team can receive active analytics on. Halligan argues that building following and traffic is the first step to having a successful business. This book enhanced my overall knowledge of entrepreneurship because It showed how important marketing is in the process o...
