Explore the the ideas by theme:
Our idea is a robotic companion dog and wearable bracelet to support autistic children connected to an app where the user (aimed at parents/guardians) can control the robot, personalise responses and set task.
Our idea is an app that will provide real time information on how busy local places are so that people can make an informed decision on when they visit using user feedback and sensors tracking footfall, with an additional functionality of including reviews of businesses from fellow app users.
Our idea is an app providing multi-levels of healthcare including resources for fitness and mental health.
Our idea is an app with a suite of products that promote healthy sleeping habits – includes monitoring capabilities and tips and tricks for creating good sleeping habits.
Our idea is a wearable device (with app) for people living with PTSD that uses sensors and GPS tracking to monitor their behaviour and notify friends and family of dangerous PTSD episodes.
Our idea is an AI-powered wellbeing assistant with a companion app that supports users to enhance mental and physical health through detecting symptoms, monitoring movement, providing suggested workouts/activities and feedback tailored to the user.
Our idea is an app-controlled, filtering-monitoring unit for houses and apartments, able to detect pollutant gas levels and leaks within homes and warn users when levels become dangerously high.
Our idea is an app allows girls/people who menstruate to order free monthly hygiene packs to their home/school, as well as setting motivation and fitness goals and providing mental health tips and sports skills.
Our idea is an app that recognises patterns in mood, using data from weekly mental health check surveys, and then provides resources to help improve mental health.
Our idea is a smart display and app that helps young people in hospital wards reflect on and express how they are feeling, it uses a colours and symbols with users being able unlock different levels/progress.
Our idea is an eco-friendly water bottle synced to a wristband with an optional app that records how much water has been drunk from the water bottle through bright a colourful glow from the wristband and notifications from the app to support young people to drink water more often.
Our idea is an app that aids people with dementia and aims to reduce symptoms by including memory games, timetables, emergency GPS and more
Our idea is an app to help people with dementia that includes customisable games to help with memory retrieval and the ability to set reminders for important events and tasks, such as taking medications.
Our idea is an AI robot to support dementia patients, to help them retain independence and reduce the burden on carers’.
Our idea is a protective phone case with a built-in refillable hand sanitiser dispenser and an infrared thermometer with a companion app that provides the user with daily notifications reminding them to sanitise their hands hourly and temperature once a day.
Our idea is to introduce variable pricing into supermarkets. Shoppers would use an augmented reality visor to see prices reduce as the sell-by date approached. This would help families to save money and reduce food waste too.
Our idea is an NFC (Near Field Communication (NFC) is a contact-less communication technology) wearable/card for individuals and an integrated app to replace manual sign-in/identity verification and enable better streamlined healthcare systems.
Our ideas is a spherical robot which operates in water to remove microplastics, detecting them through infrared sensors, trapping them to magnets and allowing purified water to escape via a manta net.
Our idea is a wearable technology that measures air pollution in your local area and helps give tips on individual action to improve pollution levels.
Our idea is an app that measures someone’s carbon footprint, helping them make informed decisions about where to shop.
Our idea is a medium-sized bamboo water tank that detects moisture levels using sensors and brings the moisture levels back to optimum levels to reduce damp, with a with an electric display to monitor this.
Our idea is a n app would scan the item and tell you what category to sort it into and then show you the nearest place you could recycle it at while also giving the users information on the items carbon footprint.
Our idea are is kinetic energy harvesters/sensors which will be able to accumulate energy from the movement of doors opening and closing to generate electricity which will can be used or stored.
Our idea is a generator which is installed into homes to capture wasted energy e.g from treadmills, opening doors/windows etc. and companion app with a live feed of the electrical energy generated from our renewable sources installed within homes.
Our idea is a smart bin and companion app to help users monitor their waste and recycling which will then offer more eco-friendly options with less plastic.
Our idea is using generators and turbines to collect and store energy based on water usage in the home
Our idea is a wearable and app that tracks your recycling and “green” habits. The app uses gamification to incentivise the user to form more sustainable habits – as you improve your habits the green health of the virtual city within the app also improves.
Our idea is an app hub for teenagers and their communities to audit their carbon footprint by scanning items (clothes, food etc), set personalised green goals, measure progress against their goals and stay up to date with relevant eco events and good news.
Our idea is a self-contained digester box, designed for both homes and businesses, that uses mealworm larvae to break down non-recyclable plastic waste. Using sensors, the box can be remotely monitored to ensure optimal conditions for decomposition.
Our idea is a product/hardware for recording environmental data (a remote data logger) with a focus on rainforests and conservation with a companion website/platform for sharing data, learnings and ultimately enable young people across the world to build their own.
Our idea is combining multiple technologies including vortex pumps, conveyor belt and bucket systems, sensors, audio and robotics in one machine that gathers and removes plastic from rivers before it reaches the ocean.
Our idea is an app which recommends health food, links to shopping list and gives alerts when food will go bad; to encourage less waste there is a leadership board.
Our idea is an app with information on where to buy local produce and seasonal recipes to help your reduce carbon footprint.
Our idea is an app combining the many different climate initiatives focusing on reducing city pollution – like Santander and ‘Lime’ bikes in London – with a pollution map and route planner helping to avoid/lessen pollution plus an online marketplace tailoring eco-friendly products.
Our idea is to help solve loneliness in communities with a car-sharing/road-pricing app that encourages drivers to share their (electric) car with people who might like to go along for the companionship.
Our idea is an app that uses AI to teach sign language with sign to audio or text translation capabilities and an expansive learning centre that teaches sign language interactively.
Our idea is an app and website to help LGBTQ+ youth contact those who are going through similar experiences, through chat rooms/bots and fun enrichment activities and resources provided on the site.
Our idea is an app to support healthy lifestyles with three components, information on common diseases, healthy meal plans and exercise all incorporated in one place.
