Education

  1. Rethink education from first principles!!! What if you could reinvent school from the ground up? What would Khan Academy 3.0 be? What if kids learned primarily from gamified apps, VR experiences, and other kids? What if parents could get daily updates of their kids' accomplishments and challenges instead of year-end reports? What if teachers' role could be 1:1 helping and inspiring, rather than busy-work like grading? Software is necessary to enable all these ideas and more.

  5. Virtual learning has become the new norm for many students around the world. With so many classes taking place remotely, it can be difficult for students to remain engaged and focused. How could generative AI, the OpenAI API, and Large Language models help create more interactive and engaging learning experiences?

Healthcare

  1. We’ve all heard of pneumonia and may often associate pneumonia with patients on ventilators. However, NV-HAP was recognized as one of ECRI’s Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns of 2022. Because pneumonia is often initiated from germs in the mouth, providing oral care with the right products and educational support addresses the most common modifiable risk factor and has the potential to improve health care quality and make health care safer for patients. However, nurses experience significant barriers in providing fundamental care, such as oral care, often due to a lack of easy-to-use effective products and educational materials. How might we apply autonomous technology-enabled solutions to help combat NV-HAP?

  2. COVID-19 and the increasing reliance on digital screens have provided less opportunities for people to connect on a physical and personal level, affecting people’s wellbeing and happiness. Through food and nutrition, what apps can be built to improve mental health, social connections, and overall happiness (oxytocin) between people and their local communities?

  7. Value Based Care innovations - The traditional healthcare model, known as fee-for-service, relies upon reimbursements based on services provided. It does not takes into account the quality of care, nor it rewards preemptive treatments and mitigation efforts. On the other hand, in Value-based care model, reimbursement is contingent upon the quality of the care provided and it comes tethered to patient outcomes. It also rewards physicians for preventive measures and mitigation efforts. Historically, such value-based care system was far from practical due to insufficient modes of communication and data gathering. However, such models might be possible today due to availability of technology, sensors, digital health solutions and data analysis tools. What are some of the innovative ways that utilize technology to implement a value-based care solution?

  8. Home-Based Care solutions - Home-based care innovations refer to the use of technology and other tools to improve the delivery of healthcare services to patients in their homes. The goal of these innovations is to provide patients with more convenient, cost-effective, and personalized care while also allowing them to maintain their independence and autonomy. These innovations are particularly useful for patients with chronic conditions or those who are elderly or disabled, as they allow them to receive care in the comfort of their own homes rather than having to travel to a healthcare facility. Additionally, home-based care innovations can also help to reduce the burden on hospitals and other healthcare facilities by allowing patients to receive care in a more cost-effective and efficient manner. What are some of the innovative ways that utilize technology to implement a home-based care solution?

  9. Mobile Point-of-care Diagnostics - It is any type of medical diagnostic technology that is designed to be portable and easy to use, typically at the point of care, meaning it can be used in non-traditional settings such as in homes, remote locations or in ambulances. These devices can range from simple diagnostic tools, such as blood glucose meters or pregnancy test kits, to more complex devices that can perform multiple tests, such as blood cell counts or cardiac markers. These diagnostic devices can be connected to smartphones, tablets or other mobile devices, allowing for the results to be easily transmitted to healthcare providers for further analysis. The primary benefit of Mobile Point-of-Care diagnostic is that it allows for rapid and convenient testing and diagnosis, which can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. How could such Mobile Point-of-Care solutions be implemented using latest technologies in order to create easy, convenient and affordable access to diagnostics?

  10. Scalability for dapps which consume orders of magnitudes of compute more than today's most popular DeFi products is a real bottleneck in crypto right now. Novel L1 solutions such as Cosmos/Evmos as well as optimistic and ZK rollups provide a new solution. How can a scalability solution preserve maximal composability from Ethereum while providing the most additional scalability?
