Themes for Ideathon

1. Women Safety

A recent WHO survey indicates 35 percent of women, globally, experience some form of abuse or physical violence. As law enforcement agencies strive to improve policing, a silent battle, in parallel, is also being fought on the digital turf by mobile applications and wearable devices to ensure women's safety. Many tech firms, apart from the Central and State governments, have come up with innovative apps and gadgets to ensure women's safety including wearable devices, and GPS trackers, among others.

2. Lens Revolution

The 21st century is dominated by digital cameras and tiny lenses fitted to the backs and fronts of smartphones, which, despite their small size are capable of capturing far more details than even the best camera barely 50 years ago. Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last decades.

3. Food Processing

When it comes to food, tech isn't always the first thing that comes to mind. However, technology over the years has changed how we produce and find our food through applications, robotics, data and processing techniques. According to recent report from ING, technology helps food manufacturers produce more efficiently for a growing world population. By using tech to improve processing and packaging, it can improve the shelf life and safety of food.
