i really think that the brain app is cool because it allows you to take a look at all nine layers of the brain in 3D so that you can see how it works and learn more about it in ways you couldn't have before.

I think that the hair clip inspired device is pretty cool.It's a medical clamp that can stop traumatic wound bleeding in a matter of seconds, that's helpful becuse it can keep you from bleeding too much
Marium Chouhdry-1st
I like the itclamp. it clamps down on skin to hold togather a wound to stop bleeding. i like this because alot of people die from traumatic bleeding each year and this would lower those numbers.
Haley Gresham-1st
I think that the brain implant that allowed a paralyzed woman to opperate a machanical arm is amazing! This technology works by interpreting brain signals to guide the robot arm. This concept has endless potential and can help tons of people.

I think that The iSpO2 is a great idea comes with a sensor that you slip on to your ring finger for immediate oxygen, pulse rate, and perfusion index readings i like it it alot
I think that the new alarm system that was installed in hospitals in scotland, can really help on the effort to stop people from smoking on places where signs of no-smoking are placed.

I really like the Medisana ThermoDock. I think it is very useful and efficient, because it can take the temperature of anything. it uses infrared to detect temperature.
Mitchell-1st
i really like to "hair clip" because it clamps down on the skin to hold it together to help stop bleeding.

I think that the Microfluidic chip is cool. It tells you faster if you have any ful like symptoms.They found out that their chip doesn't only rivals RT-PCR.

Sign your posts please!!!!
I too dig that clamp. And I think it's really cool that the idea came from a HAIR CLIP!
I think that The iSpO2 is a great idea comes with a sensor that you slip on to your ring finger for immediate oxygen, pulse rate, and perfusion index readings i like it it alot

i really like the ispo2 for iphon and ipad because it would be so much more conveient then having those giant machines in the hospital room.

I really think the Microfluidic chip is a cool thing. If everyone used these, we could catch the flu in it's early stages and it would prevent people from spreading it so much.
Nichole Marshall, 2nd period.
I believe that the iSpO2 is a very useful piece of technology. It makes on the spot pulse readings. I believe that it will be used more in the near future.

i chose the brain implants that allowed the lady who was paralyzed to move a robotic arm. that is something i think is very useful. and the arm has seven axis of movement so it can move well.

Those robotic arms are cool and smart because you dont have arms you can use a robotic one
- Andrew Gipson, 2nd
The ITClamp looks every painful but I think it is a good idea becasue it can stop you from bleeding too much. The ITclamp is designed to stop traumatic wound bleeding in a matter of seconds.
Gabriel Garrett 2
I think that the hair clip thingy is the awesome! I would use it for everything! Its a medical clamp that can stop traumatic wound bleeding in a matter of seconds! Now what's better than that? NOTHING
Tyvan Tipps, 2nd
The 3D Brain atlas sems useful vary useful to those studying the brain, in that they will not haft to look up the name and or the location of parts of the brain. This app is aslo more covinent then having to look for the right page in a book.
Grayson Skidmore 2nd
i think the hair clamp is nice because it stops bleeding in a quick second.Pretty cool to me but it seems painful.

I like the Mobilyze. It is a new smartphone technology that should be able to tell whether a person is depressed. I think its a good idea if the person is unaware of their depression. :/
Raven R. Moore, 2nd
i really think that the iSp02 is a good thing for the people or hospital to use. i really think that it would come very helpfull to the people. its use very easly because it slips on to your ring finger for immediate oxygen, pulse rate, and perfusion index readings.
-karen torres 2nd
I picked the wound clamp. I can be used in places where a turnicate can not. I think it would be useful, but a turnicate can be made out of virtually anything. This clamp is $65 dollars, therefore people are less likely to buy it.
SDPearson 2nd Period
The BIC allows quadriplegic people to be able to move things with a robot arm,since they can't move things on their own. Having the surgery to implant a new brain has made it possible for the people who can not move on their own, which helps them attempt to live a portion of a normal life again.

The one of the cooliest wheelchairs ever. The technology is designed to allow wheelchair users to navigate through tighter spaces more easily.
Delton Scott 2nd
I think the hair clip inspired device is very useful and unique. It can stop any major bleeding in seconds. Filips' firm reports that its aim is to allow medics, soldiers, and first responders to better treat three of the most preventable causes of trauma deaths. This clamp can save alot of people's lives.
Ka'Lyn Gladney 2nd
i really think the brain thingy is cool where you can use your brain to look at your brain in 3d i would love to experience that one day to see how my brain works.

The ITClamp is a very useful medical tool that could prevent many deaths due to traumatic bleeding. This is a very great product that's soon to hit the market and that hopefully will be available to everyone.
Eddie Ramirez - 2nd
my opinion on the pocket brain app is that its really neat i don not know much about my brain, but with this app i could see the brain in my head 3d even though its not my brain, its similar and i could see how it would work.it has a 3 dimensional rotating nine layers of the brain, and it does not need 3g or wifi to be able to explore your brain.
Salvador Rodriguez 2nd
I think that the early warning software will help the life of people living with epilepsy. The down side of this is the false warning sent into the brain. Woodson ~ 2 nd
I think the instant pulse reading with the iPhone is extremely handy for travel nurses so they don't have to carry around a bunch of tools, it's just on their phone. I also think that the clamp that stops truamatic bleeding looks like a really bad idea.
Kayleyne Beighey, period 6.
I like the pocket brain app because it's $19.99 and just simply amazing. On my brother's iPad he has a similar app if the not same one that's pretty interesting to use. Sometimes he explains how he has purchased his books on his iPad and can view then digitaly.
Fernando Rodriguez, 6th Period
I really think the ioSp2 is a great invention because you dont have to go to a doctor or something to check up ur heart rate or your fever. You just connected to your ipod or iphone and it does it all for you i really think its amazing.!!
Cruz-6
i think the robot arms are cool because is like using your own arms but expericing something cool but too bad is only for people who dont have arms.
ignacio sanchez
So this mind controlled robot arm is pretty cool! In a year she was able to manipulate the arm to where she could pick up a chocolate bar and eat it. That is simply mind boggling! What it does is send brain signals to the robot arm that makes it move like a regular arm would. With a little practice he person can have full control!
Now be honest I know im not the only one thinking this... mind control! This is one small step for people towards being and to control other peoples minds.... O.o or maybe the government is already doing that and this is based on the technology that they have already been using!... dang it now I'm paranoid.
Miranda Cheever 6th
i like the Brain implants because it lets paralyzed people move a robot arm.
denerrell jones 7th
I think the robot arm is straight up swag. It can help people with quadriplegia in a way that is over the top swag. They can use their brain to control an arm which will help them become more mobile in a way. It took the woman less than a year to seize a chocolate bar, and that is just overly swag. Fin.
Courtney - 7
I like the hair clamp wound clip. I think it would be a great help to medic's on the battlefield. It can stop traumatic bleeding within seconds, a tool that I truely believe would help our troops on the battlefied.
I think the hair clip design is a neat idea. It's a clam that can stop traumatic wound bleeding in seconds. This would be very important to people in the military, when there arent any doctors around. I feel like it would give people a little, extended life time before they bleed out.
Hill, 7th
I think the the Hospital alarm system is cool because it go's off when some one is lighting up but it cost way to much jest to have.
Reyes, 7th
I think that The iSpO2 is a great invention because it comes with a sensor that you slip on to your ring finger for oxygen, pulse rate, and perfusion index readings. I think it's a brilliant invention

I think the brain implants are cool because they allow paralized people to be able to move a robot arm and that helps them to grab things they couldnt get themselves.
Kline-7th
i would consider the BCI brain implant that allows the user to manipulate a robotic arm (or mechanic part with ease). It was tested out on a lady who lost the ability to move, but now feels like she has regained power again. This medical advancement will truly inspire great developments, as this is just a prototype.
Manuel Vazquez, 7th
Early warning softwar that could reduse false alarms of seizures over 50 million people have seizures. the interesting thing is that when they tested the device it reduced 80% of false alarms

I like the ITClamp because it can easily save a life. The clamp could conceivably stay in place for hours until surgery is possible for the injured person.
Villarreal 7th
the High-tech bandage that spurs blood vessel growth is going to be awesome! i am always getting scrapes and cuts and never wanted to use banages because they didnt seem to help with the healing process. these bandages causes cuts to heal faster. i really want some.

Marisol Alvarado- 7th period
I think that the brain implant that lets the paralyzed women who's diagnosed with spinocerebellar degeneration move a robotic arm. This technology interprets brain signals to guide a robot arm. I really liked this peice of technology because it reminded me of when I was in middle school our robotics science class. We were to create a prototype of somesort of technology that helped people that were physically disabled and my protoype was very similar to this! Alvarado- 7th period
There were many cool, interesting items in that page, but i really liked the Medisana ThermoDock, this is an object that you can connect to your iphone and it lets you check your temperature, or whatevers temperature by just aiming at it... the cost of this is approx. $95
Corpus 7th
I like the brain implants because i feel like paralyzed people are really missing out on the good things in life. So its really good that they are trying to make their life better :)
McShan -7th! :)
I like the robotic arm. The electrodes pick up neurons firing to activate arm movement. The reason i like it is because it shows that we are that much closer to being able to repair severed body parts. Soon we will be able to like on Star Wars and link robotic body parts to our nervous system. This will allow certain people with disabilities to be able to live normal lives.
I Like The ITClamp Because If Some Thing Happens That My Arm, Leg Or Something Open Up, I Could Close To Stop The Bleeding. It Can Save A Lot Of People From Traumatic Bleeding In A Matter Of Seconds.
Espino, 7th
i feel the clamp is use full it is Applying pressure evenly across the seal, the clamp could conceivably stay in place for hours until surgery is possible

Tyler Johnston, 7th
I like the robotic arm.They can use their brain to control an arm which will help them become more natural and human like everybody else. It also helps people holding things and do other stuff! If it can play video games, then i will get me a set! :D
Landeros- 8th
I think the mind controlled rebot arm is cool. They use brain implants to interpret brain signals to guide a robot arm.
Seannah,8th
I totally like the hair clip clamp (ITClamp) because it would be more efficient when dealing with traumatic cuts and injuries. And it says that it stops bleeding in a matter of seconds, so that could definitely save a life.
Santoyo, 8th
i think the Litmus-like sensor being used to detect chemical weapons is pretty cool. They turn from blue to pink when trace amounts of nerve gas are around.

I really like the Fort Valley Royal Hospital's new smoke detector system. I think it would be pretty fun to scare the people who are breaking the "No Smoking" rule! This hosptial is only two years old but, it's worth $480 million dollars!
Noriand Marrero 8th Period!
I think that thermo dock dr. iphone is cool because you can just point it at something and it will read the tempature. like i hate when i think i have a fever and my mom isnt around to feel my forehead but now i dont need her to be able to find out if i have a temp. or it can be used in a doctors office so the nurses dont have to carry around that big thing. and since its already on like the ipad they probably have a program where you can go ahead and type all the other information that the nurses take like height weight. so now all this info is easier to look at and enter
Those brain implants are sweet! With those types of implants you can function a mind-controlled robot arm with seven axes of movement! That would be so cool!

i really really like the Haptic app. It helps visually impaired ( blind people) learn math. I think that is just so wonderful. I'm confused though...bluntly speaking, they can't see.. so how can they solve (2x +5y) squared? idk.. anything is possible... cool invention
Faith Deckard- period 8
i think the microfluidc chip would be a big help in diagnose the flu.
It would be Faster Cheaper and Disposable..

It doesn't seem to me that the ThermoDoc would be very accurate. I feel like there would be lots of external factors that would obscure accurate temperature readings of a dog, your forehead, or Ipad 3 through infared. Seems to me that it would be too good to be true.
Geetha Pokala,8th
I love the hair clip inspired ITclamp. It is a clamp that can instantly stop traumatic bleeding and help to heal wounds. It can help reduce death rates caused by bleeding, consequences of collapsed lungs and airway obstructions. I love this because I feel like it will be an easy and cleaner to heal wounds this way. Also, I feel like it will be useful for soldiers and people serving our country that get hurt easily.
Rogers Kelsey 8
I like the thermodock since you can take the temperature of almost everything without having to physically touch it and you wouldnt get burned by say touching a hot metal object that you found outside in the middle of August. The thermodock is accurate to +/- 0.2 degrees centigrade or +/- 0.4 degrees farenheit.

the brain implant with the arm robot technology is realy amazing, to allow someone paralized to be able to create movements is really helpful and a good progress in technology, now if only they could make it wear the wiring doesn't look like that villain from spiderman would be even better.
idalia.a 8th
I think that the iSpO2 for iOS devices is really cool because it gives vital info on the go like oxygen levels, pulse rate, and perfusion index readings.
Justin Wharton 8th
i like the ThermoDock for the iPhone or Ipad because it can take your temperature from your phone.ThermoDock turns your iPhone into an infrared thermometer. This clever gadget non-contact infrared technology to measure body temperature, room temperature, surface temperature and even water temperature.
ALan Fuentes-8
I think the ITClamp is amazing! Its a clip that can stop massive bleeding from a wound fast, all inspired by a hair clip. I think that this could be really usedful because many people die from massive bleeding. This device can save many peoples lives!
Coulston 8th Pd.
I think that the new alarm system that was installed in hospitals in Scotland, can really help on the effort to stop people from smoking on places where signs of no-smoking are placed. Its also a great idea because smoking in hospitals where people are ill is disrespectful to me!
Hailey Woods-2 (2/8/13)
I think the Medisana ThermoDock is super cool. It uses infrared technology meaning you wouldn't have to put your iPhone in questionable situations. Plus it only costs $95!
