Answer 1

Project: Hygiene Checking Band

Hygiene checking band could be an innovation that could help many people prevent a disease even before they confront with them. I am introducing a new technology in the form of a band that could be tied to your wrist, which helps you to understand the present level of hygiene that you are maintaining. The band will change colours with respect to your hygiene condition. If you are in a very hygiene level, little less, needs improvement, bad condition or in a horrible condition, it will change colours indicating each of these states. This will help you to change you lifestyle as per the situation demands. This project is mainly intended for daily wage workers and other low income labourers who find it very difficult to maintain hygiene or consult a good doctor for check-up.

Proper implementation of HIT ecosystem is important since the combination of healthcare and information technology can be fully exploited to achieve a decent health standard among masses at a cheaper rate.

The project may confront with challenges such as lack of cooperation from people, research cost, and lack of government approval. It could be overcome by giving proper awareness to people regarding the importance of hygiene and the use of the band, finding more sources to raise fund, and presentation of the proposal in a convincing manner to governmental authorities.

The support would be interms of financial assistance, facility for adequate research work, advertisement and promotional tools, etc.
