This course introduces the main tools useful to kick-off a startup project. We focus on the potential use of Internet of Things in healthcare systems. Students will be asked to bring ideas to the class to use for their projects. Each student will introduce their idea to the class. Groups will be created and students will join the project they prefer. Complementary profiles will be encouraged to work together.
Each session consists of a theoretical followed by a practical part, during which students will apply the theory to their own projects. They will be evaluated based on a written report and group presentations. Throughout the course, students will be asked to use collaborative web and social media tools.
