In this Multidisciplinary Action Project, the Haas Alert student team will assess the viability of vehicle manufacturers using “sponsorship” marketing dollars from companies interested in getting their brand in front of drivers in a safe, non-intrusive manner. Prakhar Gupta will leverage his background in Computer Science to communicate with the company engineers in technical terms on behalf of his team and provide an engineering perspective as the team develops solutions and recommendations for Haas Alert. Leveraging his computer science training in a business setting will be a unique and valuable experience that will surely enrich his education in Computer and Information Sciences.

Go-To-Market Strategy
Typically, cardiac implantable electronic devices (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, implantable loop recorders, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices) are implanted in hospitals, surgery centers, or office-based electrophysiology labs. Often, a company representative from the device manufacturer attends the implant procedure in-person to provide technical support and expertise, assist the medical team with device programming and troubleshooting, and ensure the device is properly configured for the patient's needs while adhering to clinical and safety standards.
The project aims to evaluate the operational considerations and develop a go-to-market plan for alternative service models to support implant procedures. In these models, the company representative may not attend the implant procedure in person, yet the experience must remain equivalent to or better than the traditional in-person model.
