Hello! I'm Alka and this is my blog for IEOR 186: Challenge Lab on IP Innovation. I'm a junior here at Cal and have been very interested in technology and business - specifically where the two intersect - since freshman year.
After the first class, I was pretty interested in learning more about some of the patents we researched. I thought the one we pitched, the Occupant-Tracking Fan, was a great concept and had many relevant uses. I personally have been getting more into health and fitness, so the idea for a sweat monitor that can track your health was one of the (pending) patents my team liked. I think it I'd like to base my class project off one of these patents, or similar ones which are applicable to people like me.
