Taking SickKids Mobile

SickKids

The Taking SickKids Mobile project is a pilot initiative of The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) with industrial support from Sapient Nitro, Blackberry, iMason, and Normative and academic support from OCAD University, Ryerson University, and George Brown College. This project includes experiential learning opportunities for all participants featuring design-thinking methodology as well as interdisciplinary applied research activities to produce a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) for each mobile product concept. The MVP will be produced via an iterative process of idea generation, prototyping, user input and evaluation, presentation, data collection, analysis, and learning. Examples of an MVP are: design templates, wireframes of the graphic user interface, and fully functional sub-set(s) of a product (such as a feature). The George Brown College research team will include Principal Investigators Richard Levine and Carrie Pajotte, School of Computer Technology, Co-Investigator Lisa Govia, Project Manager, Research & Innovation, and six students from the Information System Business Analyst program.
