I want US government to make a law to forbid using growth hormones by farmers who raise cows, pigs, chickens and other animals for meat. Some farmers use hormones which make a cow increase its weight by 20% in just one week. And after that we eat that meat! Not surprizing that so many people in America are overweight and unhealthy. We need to stop it!

Why not create a painless hypodermic needle? The needle will have a jagged outer surface, much like the outer surface of the proboscis of the mosquito. The jagged surface will allow only a small amount of the surface to contact the nerves in the skin, creating a minimum amount of discomfort. Once the jagged sheath of the needle penetrates the skin, a smooth tube will move through the sheath, delivering drugs or taking blood.

Why not create a plate able to detect radiation levels in food, alerting the diner with its OLED lights? The plate will contain a built in radioactive meter to control the ring of OLED lights depending upon the amount of radiation detected in the food. No rings will mean the food has no radioactive traces, while one ring will indicate a small amount, two rings will indicate significant amounts, and a red ring will be a sign that safe radiation levels have been exceeded. The plate...

The idea is to develop special wristbands to help the users keep track of their lifestyle patterns and develop more healthy habits. The wristband monitor will work with a smartphone application and an open platform that will advise the user on physical activity, nutrition, or sleep patterns. The open platform will allow the app to be fine tuned to individual goals, and the social network link will solicit encouragement from family and friends.

I wanna have a fitness monitor that uses motion detection and analysis to record data and allows to keep track of the exercise averages with a smartphone. The monitor should weigh under an ounce and is meant to be clipped anywhere on the torso or carried in a pocket. The monitor will be able to identify specific body movements and keep track of how many calories are burned throughout the day.

The idea is to create an organ care system that will eliminate the need to pack hearts on ice, instead keeping the heart beating almost all the time from donor to transplant patient. Once the donor heart is placed in the device it will be brought back to beating, flooded with oxygen and nutrient rich blood, and kept at the optimal temperature. The system will also monitor the heart and display how well it is functioning during the transport to the patient. The system will also...

The idea is to develop a contact lens able to wirelessly monitor and report the blood sugar level of the wearer. The contact lens will work through enzyme-based electrochemical process, which will be able to measure the glucose levels in tear fluid. Small radios will interact with the sensor to wirelessly transmit the data, eliminating the need for daily monitoring by needles.

A new device will make it easier to monitor patients who are at risk for strokes without the need for invasive tests. Knows as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), the small, thin device will attach to the patient's forehead like a sticker. It will measure blood oxygen levels in the brain using near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and reach the brain tissue, and readings can be taken simply by shining a light on the patient's brow. NIRS could replace the current methods of...
