Do you have a great idea? Too many ongoing projects and no time to actually build it?
Leave your idea in the comments and let people get inspired or steal your idea:

I don't have an idea, but I just want to bump your thread because this is just so wholesome 😄

Cheap fall detector for elderly people living alone, that does not require remembering to put it on/charge it - This is a project I started from a personal need, my granny did fall at home and she could not get up by herself so she had to lay on the floor for hours before she got any help. The idea is to install raspberry pi's with cameras to each room. The raspi's are running a piece of software that is able to locally (privacy respecting) detect persons, analyzing postures, checking if anyone is laying on the floor, falling down, not moving in patterns that they usually move by (you might be able to detect medical conditions worsening in advance by looking at daily routines), etc. and then send for help. I did do some work already around the project but there was always something new coming up, so if someone would like to further build a product like this, feel free to do it!
Here is a demo of the project: https://tunn.us/arduino/falldete...
Here is my bachelors thesis about the project: https://github.com/infr/falldete...
Source code: https://github.com/infr/falldete... -> this is not that interesting, you should really look in to different Pose estimation ML models, such as PoseNet, to get the best results.
@maxwellcdavis thanks! The main idea was to do something as cheap as possible, but still powerfull enough. It would cost around 50$ per room, and you just need to cover most of the rooms since you can monitor when someone enters a room and stays there for too long.
Kim, hi!
Thank you for the interesting thread)
The point is that the ideas are worth nothing in our world) The more important thing is how you do them.
An intelligent personal assistant.
An assistant that's always with you on your devices, listens to you, books your appointments for you based on your what you say on your calls for example and reminds you take your pills as your doctor ordered. It can even remind you to buy stuff from grocery store.
Seamless integration with everything possible as if it's a human personal assistant living with you 24/7.
@m_kamrani that would be nice but also a bit creepy. I think Siri will at some point be good at this when it starts to analyze emails and other messages and make calendar inputs based on those.
best way, make it open source, free for all public user
@shaik_ikbhal_basha thats usually a great way, works probably best for software that is used by developers.
When someone launches a product that moves dirty coffee mugs from work desks to dishwasher, I'll be te first one to buy it!
@tytti_sandstrom It's almost as if I've heard of this before somewhere ;D
Artificial intelligence that collects exercise-, sleep- and eating data and suggests the most optimal eating and training methods based on these. Simplified: tell us what you want to achieve and in what time (e.g. a certain weight, muscle mass, etc.) and artificial intelligence will guide you. Maybe there is already something like that, or surely something similar is coming. A similar could be done for spending money to guide savings goals.
