Project Ideas

Urban Farming: Edible plants and trees in our community: Instead of visual pleasing plants that feed our eyes, having fruiting plants or produce plants along the urban area could potentially increase job for those who are homeless or those needing extra side jobs. Produce plants and trees can be visually pleasing as well with a return from it's edible parts.

Glucose Alerting System: Taking Princeton's developing technology of using a special type of infrared light to obtain blood glucose level, it is possible that with better research a new type of glucose monitoring device can eliminate the traditional prick testing. A wristband with the laser monitoring system will take periodic measurements of the patient, if the glucose is too low--the wristband will vibrate alerting the user of possible hypoglycemia. If the user ignores the vibrations and blood glucose continues to drop, an alarm will sound from the user's phone and connected phones alerting family that their loved one is having a low blood glucose complications. If the blood glucose continues to drop (below 30 mg/dL) medics are alerted because the user may be unresponsive with such low blood glucose. The glucose monitoring armband allows the user to better monitor their diabetes and the alerting system will relieve the family's worries.

Recipes by the People: Users can submit cultural recipes, which are reviewed and posted on website/mobile application. Each recipe will have a little background information of where it comes from and any special meaning behind the dish. Users can submit their recipes to the company for review and editing of background information.
