My idea is to create a cell phone application for wheelchair users that will give information about the accessibility of nearby locations.

The maps will use open data that will allow users to modify and update the information. This open contribution ability is very important, because it allows the application to grow as it is being used.

In addition, such cell phone could have an alarm to help responders locate the person in need of help.

Why not provide our mobile phones with ECG machine capability of clinical-quality readings? Such a cell phone should have a pair of electrodes to send ECG readings via Bluetooth.

I want to have a wallet which will inform me about all changes with my bank account and will adjust to the sum of money available: * It will vibrate / beep each time a transaction take place; * When there isn't much money in bank account the wallet will resist its opening; * It will swell and shrink to reflect...

My idea is to create mobile application which will help children with autism to develop communication skills. The application will be based on Picture Exchange Communication System, i.e. it will help children to build messages from pictures and send them to each other. It will also contain a vocabulary consisting of words learnt by a child. The vocabulary could be easily updated as well as new pictures could be added to the application.

My idea is to create a mobile phone application based on GPS which will help to define single people within a radius of 0.5 - 0.7 miles. It will be of great help not only for pickups but also for people who are eager to make the acquaintance. The application will also have a chat function so as it is possible to send short messages to each other and make an appointment.

My idea is to create a mobile application integrated with a database of public lavatories within a city/country/state/etc. After you define your location the application will return the list of the nearest lavatories. It seems to be very convenient. By the way, the database should be updated on a daily basis.

I want an audio file on my phone which will frighten off mosquitos within a radius of 3.5 feet. A human won't hear anything but mosquitos will. The sound will be similar to the buzz of mosquito male which mosquito female try to stay away from.
