A new handheld food scanner paired with a smartphone will let users quickly identify the ingredients in their foods, making it easier to avoid allergens, chemicals or unwanted additives. Designed to allow users to make smarter food choices, the device will use a Raman spectrometer, specialized cloud-based algorithm and a smartphone app. Beaming the low-powered laser at the food product in question will cause the food to emit low energy protons, which will then be sorted by...

The idea is to design smart light switch functioning as a sensor to dial in the optimal light levels in the room. The switch will go beyond color-changing, app-enabled bulbs to provide an intuitive lighting-environment. The device's sensor will detect movements, noise, the time of day and the room's ambient light levels, and then automatically adjust the lighting to suit the needs of the moment. Bedtime will trigger the lights to slowly dim, setting a relaxing mood, while...

The bottle will turn regular tap water into a safe and effective hard-surface sanitizer. The handheld sprayer will transform water into a sanitizing solution by turning the water into ozone. This will be accomplished by using a diamond electrolysis cell. As a cleaner, the ozone is as powerful as chlorine, and is able to kill bacteria and viruses such as E. coli and salmonella while still remaining safe for use on fruits and vegetables.

For people who take their eggs seriously, smart egg tray will track the number of eggs remaining in carton and recommend which ones to use first. The tray will hold up to fourteen eggs and sync with a smartphone for instant, on-the-go information, such as how many eggs are remaining in the carton. LED lights in the tray next to each egg will indicate the oldest egg (based on when they were placed in the carton) and push notifications sent to the smartphone will alert you when the...

A new smart sock for infants will track the baby's sleeping position and other vitals, allowing nervous parents to get a bit more sleep at night. The sock will be equipped with an array of sensors able to monitor the baby's heart rate, temperature, oxygen levels and sleep position. The data will be sent via Bluetooth to the parent's smartphone, allowing them to keep tabs on their baby without needing to go into the room every few minutes (which is common for new parents). In...

Designed with diabetic children in mind, the pen will be the first insulin device able to deliver insulin in half-doses. The pen will be styled for children to use, who typically require only a half-dose of insulin. It will feature a dial to choose the insulin dose and a memory function, which will show the time of each previous injection so parents will be sure their children are administering their insulin properly.

It will be possible to keep track of salt intake with the handy salt meter, a sort of salt-content thermometer for hot, liquid foods. The device will designed primarily for aficionados of salt-prone soups like ramen or udon noodles. It can be inserted into any semi-liquid food with a temperature between 140 and 176 degrees F, and the results will be displayed in less than a second on the LED screen. A bit of math will be required to come to the final reading, with a reading of 1...

The wristband will help keep track of your emotional health, monitoring your mood and offering suggestions if you seem a bit unbalanced. The wristband will contain the "life spectrum analyzer", which is a medical-grade. Rather than simply gathering data on heart rate or blood pressure, the device will monitor the body's entire autonomic nervous system by capturing and analyzing the electrical impulses from the cells in the right atrium. The results will then be sent to the user's...

The electronic pen will vibrate to signal an illegible letter or misspelled word. The pen will function in either calligraphy mode (vibrating when a letter is written incorrectly) or orthography mode (vibrating to signal a spelling or grammar error). Future generations of the pen will include pressure sensors and a network module to transfer data 'written' with the pen to digital devices.

The shocking alarm clock concept will help zap you into wakefulness by delivering a small shock when you turn off the alarm. The clock will include an integrated music player controlled by a touchscreen interface--allowing users to wake up in the more traditional manner. However, those who need an extra boost can activate the optional electrical shock mode, which will deliver a pulse of a few millivolts when the user touches the clock to turn off the alarm. That small harmless jolt...
