Jaroka, Tele-healthcare participates in IDEAS Competition

Jaroka, Tele-healthcare project participated in the IDEAS competition at MIT. The IDEAS Competition encourages student teams to develop and implement projects that make a positive change in the world. The project was one of the few cross collaboration between Stanford University and MIT.

The competition gave us a unique insight of how other students were developing ideas to bring about social change in the developing world. It also brought us in contact with other fellow students with like minded ideas.
