Project Idea Research

Problems:
  • Taking attendance in class
  • Real-time communication between teacher and students during a lecture
  • Students should leverage the help of each other more
  • Sailboats knowing the exact time to the start of the race
  • Remote monitoring of vital health statistics
  • Remote distribution of medicine to a person in an emergency
  • There is not a standard for how data is captured and the accuracy of the information
  • IOT devices are inherently hackable and add to hospital network risks. Is there a way to prevent this?
  • It’s difficult and time consuming to track how many calories and other nutrients you eat. There could be a way to do this automatically.
  • There could be a way to connect weight lifting to the internet to automatically track your lifting progress.

Solutions:
  • Internet connected device with iBeacon that pings smartphones and uploads to cloud who is in the room.
  • Device to have a queue of questions sourced from students that the professor can answer during lecture.
  • Have the starting horn for sailboat races connected to the internet and able to broadcast the exact time to all of the boats racing.
  • Pacemakers connected to the internet that allow doctors to monitor your pace, etc. Could extend to other measuring devices: glucose monitor, blood pressure, etc.
  • Internet connected epi pen / medicine distributor. Device that is always on you and someone you trust (doctor, parent) can choose to administer medicine remotely.
