Top challenges for the future of humanity and the planet

We live in a world with staggering challenges—education, energy, environment, food, global health, poverty, security, space, water—that need to be addressed.

These diseases live inside the bodies of more than one billion people!

1. Global Scientific Social online Networking platform

collaborative research

Social networking

Website/platform with a mission to connect, inspire and empower a global community of scientists and physicians to find and develop sustainable solutions to the most difficult health and medicine problems facing humanity and to positively impact billions of lives.

2. Low-cost Breath Analysis Medical Device

“The more we look into the breath, the more we find.”

“We realize now that anything in your body that is eventually in the blood, can be measured in your

breath.”

— Dr. Raed Dweik, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Pulmonary Vascular Program at Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland, OH)

Nitric oxide (NO), Carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Human breath contains upwards of 300 chemicals

Methods;(1). GC-MS (2) Chemical sensors (3) Laser spectroscopic techniques

Biomarkers

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)Sleep apneaCystic fibrosis (CF)AsthmaCancers: Lung, Colon, Breast, etcBronchiectasisInterstitial lung diseaseMultiple sclerosisParkinson's diseaseTuberculosis Diabetes

Pentane and Ethaneasthma, COPD, obstructive sleep apnea, and pneumonia

VOCs, NO, CO, H2O2

asthma, COPD and CF

VOCs from C4 to C10

alkanes and monomethylated alkane clues to a number of lung cancerIsoprostanesAsthma and COPD

Specific Diseases

Device connected

to a smartphone

Biomarkers•There are over 300 compounds in the breath

• Some of which are established indicators of diseases

• To use these indicators we need a Very selective sensor for a particular gas and chemical compounds

Work Mechanism of the deviceElectrical signal (Sensor)

Data: biomarkers (nano- electrode detector)

Transfered to a smartphone (with a software in the cloud): To be analyzed and then compared with a database of deseases biomarkers

Detection part

Graphene or CNT nano-electrode

Chemicals of interest detected

Device Development

Signal will be

transferred to the

Smartphone is order to

be Analyzed as a data

In order to perform an analysis, the signal will be transferred to the Smartphone that has a software in the cloud (application) with a particular detection problem

and a database of the diseases biomarkers (for the comparison)

Device Development

3. Private Tutoring Challenges

Private Tutoring Market

Global: $102.8 Billion (2018) South Korea: $13.9 billion (2012) USA: $40 Billion (2014) India: $13 Billion (2014) “Online” Tutoring in the US: $5 Billion (2018)

FACTS About 40% of students need extra educational support Lower income students can't access to private tutoring Inequality between children of different socioeconomic backgrounds worldwide

Problem

FREE Tutoring: a web platform to help low income students worldwide get free tutoring by connecting them with volunteers tutors

Solution

Private Tutoring - Problems

An Online Tutoring Platform with a simple mission – connect students of all levels and tutors (volunteers) and all over the world to get online and/or out-line free tutoring and resources needed to reach their full potential and goals.

4. Crowdfunding platform for sustainable energy projects &

initiatives

WeShareEnergyA global crowdfunding and crowdinvesting platform for sustainable energy and energy efficiency projects and startups.

The platform will be for site owners/initiatives & project developers around the world to successfully raise money to build and manage commercial scale solar, wind, smart energy, and energy efficiency projects in their community.
