"The Domain Tech Report" features IDEALabs

Joe McDonald, Avik Som and Josh Siegel of IDEALabs, a bioengineering design and entrepreneurship incubator composed of a group of Washington University Engineering and Medical students, sat down with Edward Domain on “The Domain Tech Report” to discuss how the group’s members work with physicians and researchers to solve problems seen in clinical care. IDEALabs is a joint venture of the School of Medicine, School of Engineering & Applied Science and the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences (DBBS).  Teams of undergraduate, medical students and graduate students work together to create solutions to real clinical problems.

“For enterprise iPhone App developers like myself, the most significant aspect of today’s WWDC announcements was how Apple will be integrating the Siri API with third party applications. Over the course of the next 12 months we should see a number of apps being able to ‘bolt’ Siri’s robust functionality directly on top of the application layer. For users on the go, this will mean they will be able to interact with apps on a more automated basis, in my case, this type of integration could save users 30-50 percent of the time they usually spend typing or navigating the app manually.” - Jordan Hudgens, Senior Software Engineer at MCW Services
