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.

The idea is to create a device that will provide a new level of night-time relief to asthma sufferers by provided cleaner air while they sleep. The device will work by directing a gentle column of cool, filtered air down onto the sleeping person. This cooler air will push away the particle-laden air that will rise out of the slightly warmer bed sheets.

Because traditional insulin pumps are bulk and obvious, only about 30 percent of people with Type 2 diabetes choose them over daily injections. The new insulin pump will be slimmer and more elegant than traditional insulin pumps, making it easier to carry and more discreet. The pump will be about the size of a credit card and will feature a full color touchscreen display. It will be powered by a rechargeable battery and will control both fast acting and low flow dosages. It...

A new method of delivering eye medicine through contact lenses could ensure a more controlled and thorough dosing of medication. The contacts will come in two varieties- disposable daily wear and 30 day extended wear. The medication will be released slowly, controlled by drug memory in the lens structure. The lenses could make life more comfortable for patients who have to administer eye medications daily.

A new insulin substitute could replace injections with a simple, and less painful, pill. The pill will be based off a 3D molecular map of the insulin's activity. The pill will not be broken down in the stomach, so it will be taken orally. It will also be cheaper and easier to produce and store than conventional insulin, making it well suited for use in developing countries.

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...

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.

Diabetics may soon be able to check their blood sugar through their sweat, eliminating the need for needles and blood. Why not develop a device which can detect the variances in sweat patterns that occur when the body's glucose reaches critically low levels? The sweat meter will consist of at least three electrodes to be attached to the skin, which will provide a more accurate reading of the slight electrical current that will be sent through the surface of the skin and into the...
