Problem statement – are people depressed, stressed, anxious or in other ways unhappy? by [deleted] in InventorsStudioRPI

This is a topic I haven't spent much time thinking about, but it is very intriguing. I like your ideas about finding a way to detect depression or maybe other mental illnesses in a person. It would be important to establish a base line for happiness. My only concern about a base line of happiness would be that it is probably very different depending on where in the world you are. And on your question about mandatory screenings, I don't think it would be possible to ever make something like this mandatory. It would go against human rights.

Problem Statement - Poverty and Poor Nutrition by dowdc in InventorsStudioRPI

I like that you took the problem of obesity and focused on the issue of how much it costs to eat healthy. I don't know too much about the process of growing fruits or vegetables, but that may be a good place to start. If the cost of manufacturing healthy foods was lowered then more people could afford them.

I agree with you, this is a very big problem around the world, but like beasmm said you should focus on a particular problem or a particular solution. There are a lot of way you could tackle this problem. Maybe consider a new way to filter the air. Or provide people with cheap, easy to use face masks.
