Some revolutionary technological innovations you must know about

Introduction

The technologies are reforming the lives not only of the rich people but also the poor people. I'm dropping some names that will bless your eyes in no time.

The Wonderbag

The Wonderbag - innovation The Wonderbag is a great innovation for the billions of people that can cook over an open fire. It allows food preparation without suffering from air pollution caused by firewood, charcoal, or other fuels. How it works Bring food to an initial boil, place it inside the bag, and let it slow cook for up to 12 hours. It reduces air pollution, and carbon emissions and saves energy.

Bottle light bulbs

Bottle light bulbs - innovation Bringing sustainable lighting to all the communities is the goal of the “A Liter of Light”. This project opens sources with simple and innovative technology to create affordable solar light bulbs. The volunteers use to teach the communities how to use recycled plastic bottles and locally sourced materials to assemble the bulbs to light up homes with very limited or absolutely no access to electricity.

Energy-producing roads

SolaRoad Kit - indivtech Roads can be produced as solar panels and produce electricity for street lights, households, and even the cars driving on them. This bold vision led Solaroad to build the first energy-generating bike path. Their main challenge was the top layer of the road. It had to let as much sunlight in as possible while remaining strong and damage resistant. A “SolaRoad Kit” lets you build 10m² of SolaRoad, which produces enough electricity to cover the yearly electricity needs of an average household.

1 dollar microscope

Foldscope - innovation Foldscope is a paper microscope inspired by origami. It costs less than one U.S. dollar and fits easily in a pocket and is powerful enough to even reveal blood cells and bacteria. Foldscope could prove invaluable for medical use or educational institutions in remote or resource-scare areas. This is an excellent initiative to fight against neglected tropical diseases. The University of Lagos uses Foldscope as a diagnostic tool in treating malaria.

Medical drones

Medical Drones - innovation Medical delivery drones are used to deliver vital medical supplies to patients living in difficult-to-reach parts of Rwanda. The drones, called Zips, can carry vaccines, medicines, or blood to patients. Health workers simply text an order for the medical supplies they need to a central distribution center. Within minutes a Zip is loaded and launched, traveling at around 100 km/h to its destination, where the essential supplies are dropped with a paper parachute.

Mobile water safety check

mWater - innovation Helping people find safe water sources near them is one of the ways in which non-profit tech startup mWater is improving several lives. mWater apps and software let users find, monitor, and map the quality of water and sanitation sites. This also helps local authorities detect water infrastructure gaps. The app work both online and offline – using the cloud for automatic data syncing when online and GPS for finding locations offline. With over 10,000 active users in 93 countries, mWater already has a database of over 350,000 public and private water sites around the world.

Solar rechargeable hearing aids

Solar Ear - innovation Globally, ten million people need a hearing aid. In developing countries, less than 3% can afford to buy one. Solar Ear is a vital response to this need with affordable, solar rechargeable hearing aids. These hearing aids are highly resistant and durable that empower Solar Ear’s users. The company also hires people who are deaf to assemble Solar Ear products.

Breast cancer detector Bra

Breast cancer detector Bra - innovation Breast cancer is one of the most widespread forms of cancer in women worldwide. Early and effective detection of breast cancer is the aim of EVA, an “auto-exploration bra” invented by Julián Ríos Cantú when the age of 17. The bra, equipped with 200 biosensors, measures mammary color, texture, and temperature, which are then analyzed by special algorithms and neural networks. The bra connects to the user’s smartphone, offering a much more reliable and efficient diagnosis than regular self-examination checks.

Analyzing food quality with images

ImpactVision - innovation ImpactVision’s movement is against food waste and fraud by building a more transparent and secure global food system using image recognition and machine learning. Special software, combined with digital imagining and a chemical technique called spectroscopy, uses a picture to detect the food's nutritional content, freshness, and moisture. At this moment, the thing is neither commonly affordable nor pocket-sized. However, in the near future, these may integrate with smartphones, ready for users to assess food in real-time.

Low-cost harvest storage

PICS bag - indivtech Every year, small farmers in Africa lose more than 30% of their cowpea or maize harvest to insect pests because of poor storage techniques. The PICS bag – a triple-layer re-usable plastic bag – offers them an effective solution. It’s low-cost, chemical-free, and simple to use. The bags are transforming the livelihoods of thousands of small farmers across Africa.

Conclusion

These are some great innovations you must know about. These are the future game changers. Stay tuned with us for more updates. More articles Read the full article

Currently cost of hearing aids and batteries has often been beyond the reach of the poor. Solar is a solar-powered hearing aid battery that costs very less than the traditional batteries cost and it last for 2-3 years whereas normal battery charge last for one week.  Batteries are recharged with solar power, avoiding to be discarded on the environment.

All the hearing aids are manufactured by deaf people and the company offers complete hearing aids at greatly reduced prices
