Co-op insights fuel student's entrepreneurial pursuit

Wednesday, December 7, 2022

A fourth-year student at Waterloo Engineering has teamed up with a family doctor to improve the process of referring patients to specialists.

Dhvani Patel, who is studing software engineering, is pursuing a startup company called RelayMD after first developing an interest in entrepreneurship when he was still in middle school and gaining valuable insights during his co-op placements.

“I found that working at a bigger organization I couldn’t have the large, positive impact I knew I wanted to make,” Patel said. “Helping to code RelayMD’s platform feels more meaningful and I can have ownership over my work, beyond just the code.”
