The DIHI Rapid App Prototyping Program provides Duke graduate and undergraduate students with an opportunity to gain mobile and web development skills while working on active DIHI projects. The program focuses on health apps that support research, education and care delivery which are selected in the basis of strategic alignment.
Participants in this program are active participants in all stages of developing prototypes and solutions. All participants are provided with mentoring and an opportunity to learn from senior level developers and are taught iOS and Android development during their internship. Participants may also be given the opportunity to continue with the program during the fall and spring semester.
