ENT 3003

I'm a communist in an entrepreneurship class. Why am I here? I didn't know Innovation Academy was binding and threw me in bourgeois weirdness. At least Dr. Pryor is fun.

19A – Idea Napkin No. 2

1) I am Fractal, a Maker and lover of all things innovative. I believe in the power of machine learning and how much it can speed up the workflow and make our lives easier by taking out the grunt work in important but exceedingly repetitive jobs like mine. I work in data entry. I read prescriptions as they come and I type them up. I belive a robot can and should take my job. My job would then become double-checking if the robot analyzed the image correctly, thereby making my life a whole lot easier, and making the data entry process a whole lot quicker. 2) I'm offering an artificial intelligence machine learning program that is capable of detecting and handling handwritten text, especially for that of data entry. 3) My ideal customer would be corporate data entry offices, giving them the opportunity to implement an AI that automatically processes and data-enters prescriptions. With literally millions of databased prescriptions on file, there's practically an endless stream o...

10B- Elevator Pitch No. 1

Haha look at me I'm pretending I'm a CapITaLISt HO HO LOL GIvE mE MonEy I hATe EmPLoYeEs Words? So there I am at work, tap tap tap, typing away at a computer. Sounds like a normal desk job right? It's a bit too normal. All I do is type up prescriptions digitally. Ten hours a day, four days a week. It's bad enough for me with ADHD, but with 500 employees on the floor doing this day in and day out, it can be pretty mind numbing for anyone. And I'm thinking to myself as I am working, that I felt like a robot, and not in a good way. Then it hit me. There's literally millions upon millions of these prescriptions entered and stored. And we have machine learning algorithms to take thousands of images and learn what's in them and export them to text or even a new image. What I'm saying is why don't we literally let a robot take my job? Walgreens would be saving by not having to employ 500 monkeys at typewriters. What could go wrong with the employees an...

8A - Solving the Problem

My job is weird. I don't mean this negatively. I mean this in the sense why are humans still doing this? Data entry of prescriptions? It seems like this is something a robot should be doing. And I don't mean this in a "robots should take our jobs" sense (even though they should). I mean this in the sense of why are we relying on humans to mash out what's written on prescriptions when the technology exists to better extract data from handwritten text and even better so from printed text. My point is we already have millions of training examples correctly documented. If we used these as training data for a machine learning algorithm, it would be able to create immediate more accurate prescriptions for pharmacists. Not only that, but imagine how good AI could become at reading handwriting if it can decipher doctor cursive! This potentially has many uses outside of the pharmacy just in terms of technological advancement alone. Now this is just one possible solution...
