What's Your Favorite App?

Andrew MacDonald and Abishek Chopra of Team 6 joked during the collaboration round presentations after giving a flawless presentation to the judges.

"After the case competition, I wasn't looking forward to this project. But this turned out to be so much more interesting and fun that I thought it would be."

Andrew and Abishek had two Ericsson employees working with them during the collaboration round. They helped the students keep their big ideas in check, and focus their presentation. And they got the students engaged, refreshing their tired minds by facilitating their new ideas and new people in the room.They had a lot of ideas to start with, but both students were suprised at how easily a group of six students who've never met before could work together.

"People were really receptive to eachother's ideas. It was so great to see our exchange of ideas get connected," MacDonald said.

But both, who had only gotten 1 hour of sleep the night before, agreed that the case competition was much harder than the collaboration round. But they were running on adrenaline fumes and had stopped caring about sleep.

So while they were busy developing new apps. for Ericsson to transform the health care industry with, I wanted to know what were their favorite apps on their iPhones?

"Definitely the Bloomberg app.," Andrew said.
"Yeah, LinkedIn and Facebook are the best," Abishek said.
