The idea is to develop a wireless power transmission device that will be able to power implanted medical devices. The system will consist of a transmitter that will create a modulating magnetic field and a receiver with a metal band that will move with changes in the field. The movement will be translated into electricity able to power implants within range of the magnetic field, up to about 50 cm. The magnetic field will pose no threats to humans, and the power will be sent...

A new cardiac monitor will send wireless data from the implant to physicians to help them track the condition of their patient's heart. The device will consist of a three-channel ECG system and home monitoring technology, which will allow the implant to continuously monitor the health of the heart and transmit the information to the cardiologist. Because the batteries have a lifespan of over 6 years, even with continuous use, the implant can be used over a long period of time,...

My idea is to create a device similar to an ordinary hairdryer which will help to get rid of pediculosis. This device will blow louses and kill all nits. In that way one can cope with pediculosis in minutes.

I want to create a new drug which may more effectively control chronic pain caused by nerve injuries. The drug will target specific parts of the brain and spinal cord associated with pain perception and block an enzyme known as type 1 adenylate cyclase (aka AC1), which is produced during nerve injury. Additionally, the drug is supposed to have a required dose at least 10-50 times lower than other drugs in the market.

I have an idea to use gold nanoparticles to monitor the bloodstream to find tumor cells that remain after treatment. Polymer coated particles linked to a growth factor peptide instead of an antibody can detect and tag circulating tumor cells in the blood. The tagged tumor cells can then be revealed through laser illumination.

The idea is to create a device which will able to concentrate sunlight to produce high powered steam for the sterilization of medical instruments. Such a device could benefit clinics in impoverished areas around the world. The autoclave is to be created by using a curved mirror to focus sunlight on a steel tube able to boil water and produce high pressure steam. The device will be able to reach 250 F for 30 minutes, which is the standard set by the CDC for utensil sterilization.

The idea is to develop stick-on electronic tattoos to monitor the body's electrical activity in a noninvasive way. The tattoo will be composed of ultra-flexible silicon components arranged in a serpentine shape, which will allow them to bend without breaking, and will be powered by tiny solar cells or a wireless coil. The tattoo will use electrodes to measure the signals produced by muscle and brain activity, and will be used to diagnose sleep apnea or monitor the heartbeat of premature...

Why not use ultrasound to help speed the recovery of broken bones by stimulating bone regeneration through cell vibration. The sound frequency and pulse rate of the ultrasound will be different than that used on pregnant women, but the technology will be the same. The transducer will get a coating of water based gel, and will be then slipped into a strap that will hold it on the break, stimulating cellular activity. The ultrasound therapy is supposed to lower recovery time by...

A newly developed 'smart bandage' will be able to promote the development of blood vessels by guiding them to where they should grow. The bandage will be porous and filled with living cells positioned in channels in a precise pattern. The cells will release growth factors that will encourage vessels to grow in specific locations.

The new glasses will allow the user to change their refractive power, making it easier to provide corrective eyewear to people in developing nations. The inexpensive glasses will consist of a pair of fluid-filled lenses with flexible membranes. The wearer will use a small detachable pump to add or remove fluid from the lenses, adjusting their refraction to suit their need.
