I wish we had a vaccine for lung cancer, which could turn the deadly disease to a manageable illness. The vaccine would work by attacking the harmful mechanisms of lung cancer. The active ingredient would be based on a commonly found protein in victims of uncontrolled cancer, and could make cancer manageable by creating antibodies against the proteins that signal the uncontrolled cell cancerous cell growth.

This will be cool to have an eyeglass holder for men and women that will be small, strong, and simple. The holder will go on the outside, and the magnet on the inside. They will find each other with a click.

I wish I had some kind of an insulin doser inserted in my leg. The doser would check constantly my blood and deliver the right amount of insulin when needed. I would be able to recharge the doser with an injection to it. Such a device can definitely be used for almost any medicament.

The idea is to create smart sunglasses that can detect and automatically darken bright spots and glares. The lenses will be LCD screens with a light detecting sensor at the nose which will be able to work with a microprocessor to identify the glare. The pixels could be switched on and off to black out certain areas of the lenses and could identify the movements of the user's head and respond to the new areas of glare. The glasses could have applications for people with light...

The idea is to design shoes that will use haptic feedback and Google Maps to guide the visually impaired to their destination. The shoes will be intended to guide the user to specific destinations through vibrations on different areas of the shoe. The user will enter their destination on Google Maps with special application enabled smartphone, which will communicate with the circuit board in the heel of the shoe. By following Google's turn-by-turn directions, the vibrators will...

The idea is to develop a new eye test device for children that will use cartoons and games to simplify eye exams. The system will able to screen the child's eyes while they watch a short cartoon or play a video game. The device will use infrared light to gather data, and the assessment will be available within one minute. The test will also work without the need for eye dilation or verbal responses from the child.

Utilizing the body's own defense system may lead to less harmful ways of treating melanoma and other cancers. There is the study that involves a process known as adoptive t-cell therapy, in which immune cells are primed to seek out and kill cancer cells in the body. The results of the study are optimistic- out of nine patients, the cancer in four of them was rendered stable, and in one patient the disease disappeared, and has not returned even two years later. The method is...

A new contact lens will be able to deliver anesthetic over an extended time in uniform doses, providing better comfort for post-eye surgery patients. The lenses will be created specifically with laser eye surgery patients in mind. The dosing them with vitamin E will extend the time of release of 3 common anesthetics from 2 hours to a whole day. The vitamin E will also function as a barrier, keeping the medication on the eye.

The best defense against common communicable diseases is prevention. Door knobs and handles are covered with a huge amount of microbes so why not create self-steralizaing door handles? I suggest creating a door handle that continuously sterilizes itself with a UV light, only taking a break when you actually use it. There will be some kind of switch in the handle's frame to toggle the sanitizing illumination on and off.

The idea is to develop an insulin delivery device able to control blood glucose levels overnight, automatically dispensing insulin as needed. The artificial pancreas will use a closed loop insulin delivery system to monitor the insulin levels in people with type 1 diabetes. The system will took insulin level readings every 15 minutes, and automatically dispense the correct amount of insulin.
