How we did: Part 3

VCU does well

I left this story off at the elimination rounds. Team PocketDoc, all Comp Sci grad students, prevailed in their elimination bracket on Friday and also eliminated Team Asclepius in that elimination round - this was a bittersweet moment. On the one hand, VCU had made it into the top 3 this year, but on the other hand, another of our strong teams was bumped. Team 7 degrees were also eliminated in their round. This had Team PocketDoc (Joanne, Brooks, Will and Brandon) all moving up to the TOP 3!!!

Final Elimination: VCU WINS!!!

It came down to the University of Nebraska, East Tennessee State University and Virginia Commonwealth University all vying for top honors on Friday afternoon. VCU's finalists, Team PocketDoc, went first and gave a dynamic and well-executed performance.

Team PocketDoc fields tough questions from the judges



PocketDoc gave a strong 20-minute presentation which demonstrated the finer aspects of their patient-doctor health-management system which featured both the Pocket PC and Tablet PC prominently. Generally, while the other teams were strong, it became increasingly evident that PocketDoc was indeed very strong in the competition.
