“Visionary” is a project developing an artificial eye that mimics real eye function using AI and a microchip as a connection point. It aims to integrate artificial components like the retina, pupil, and lens, building on past prototypes, with advancements in AI and microchip technology needed to make it a reality.

Electro-BUZZ is an exciting new technology that uses special drones to help pollinate plants and crops, just like bees do! With more people in the world and bees facing problems like losing their homes and being affected by chemicals, Electro-BUZZ drones step in to lend a hand. These drones run on clean energy, such as solar, wind, and kinetic power, and are super smart, using technology to adapt to different environments. Working together as a team, the drones cover large areas to pollinate plants and make sure farmers grow plenty of food. The drones are strong, energy-efficient, smart, and eco-friendly, making them the perfect solution to help our planet. The Smart Hive works with drones, keeping track of pollination and helping the environment by sorting the flowers that have been pollinated. By combining nature and technology, Electro-BUZZ helps create a healthier, more sustainable future for food and our planet!
Breathe Buddy is a special watch that helps people with asthma stay safe. It keeps track of heart rate, oxygen levels, and breathing patterns. If it notices something isn’t right, the watch alerts the wearer early, so they can avoid an asthma attack. If needed, it can even release a small dose of medicine through the skin. The watch also sends an alert to parents or caregivers, so they can help. Unlike inhalers, this watch is easy to wear and always with you. It helps make sure the medicine is ready and hasn’t expired. With Breathe Buddy, people with asthma can feel more in control and worry less about forgetting their inhalers or missing an attack. It’s a smart, simple way to help manage asthma and stay safe.
Approximately 7 million (11.4%) US children aged 3–17 years have been diagnosed with ADHD, a disorder that does not go away with age/time. The kid-friendly ADHD Buddy watch is a great innovation that will significantly improve time management and focus while addressing behavioral challenges. Given the complexity of ADHD, predicting episodes of their agitation using wireless EEG and Brain-Computer Interface, supported by AI will help caregivers immensely. Multiple key features including parental monitoring along with proprietary FoodTrak technology to identify safe foods best suited for the ADHD kid by comparing against USDA database in the absence of parents make this watch a “true friend in need”. ADHD Buddy watch encourages independence for kids and empowerment for parents and promises to potentially improve children’s ability to focus, stay organized, and manage their time—all while fostering greater emotional regulation and self-awareness.
Around the world, 737 million people don’t have electricity, and 2 billion lack access to clean water. Both water filtration and electricity are expensive, and not always green. To address this two-pronged problem, we invented the SeaSpark which uses a system of turbines called EGU to generate hydroelectricity. It then purifies the same water in PSCS using carbon filters, photocatalytically reactive titanium dioxide, and sunlight. The process is expected to take approximately 40-50 minutes before the system starts delivering potable water. The system is self-sustaining with minimal waste generation and environmental impact.
Dementia is a serious illness affecting a person’s ability to think and remember, making daily life difficult. Lost Then Found is a small micro-patch placed between a user’s shoulder blades. It provides real-time location tracking using quantum positioning technology that can pass through most materials. A quantum accelerometer measures how fast, how far, and what direction a person is moving. The patch shares the user’s exact location with caregivers or medical personnel through an app. Body heat powers the patch, assisting with charging its electronics. The patch’s underside features tiny micro-suckers for a strong hold without using adhesives. When seconds count, Lost Then Found quickly and easily locates people with dementia, making life less stressful for families and caregivers. Find the lost faster with our tracker!
