A 7-year old thought of this clever idea - Zollipops. Sucking on one after eating neutralizes the acid saliva created, which can damage tooth enamel. So, there's an alternative to brushing after a meal, enjoy a Zollipop!
Sproutling is such a clever link it's sold out. A bank on baby's leg transmits data about sleep patterns and helps figure out ideal sleep and waking conditions.
A team of engineers at the University of Toronto has created a way to fix damaged organ tissue without surgery. The method involves a needle and a patch the size of the postage stamp, which has shape-memory capabilities, meaning it will always return to its default state when introduced to the right temperature. Once inserted into the needle and injected into the body, the patch unfolds and expands before proceeding to repair and replace missing tissue. https://futurism.com/new-stamp-sized-tissue-patch-could-be-used-to-regenerate-damaged-organs/
Three ideas from IdeaSpies were presented at the Ashurst August 2017 boardroom lunch addressed by Bill Evans. The idea receiving the most votes was a dementia village. This idea now goes to the final at the December boardroom lunch to select the top idea for the year.
A new device that reprograms skin cells could represent a breakthrough in repairing injured or ageing tissue. The new technique, called tissue nanotransfection, is based on a tiny device that sits on the surface of living skin. An intense, focused electric field is applied to the device, allowing it to deliver genes to the skin cells beneath it, turning them into different types of cells.
This is an exciting opportunity when it comes to repairing damaged tissue - turning a patient's own tissue into a bioreactor to produce cells to either repair nearby tissues, or for use at another site.
